{{CaseStudy
|The Barking and Dagenham, Havering & Redbridge Health check project uses a DDS query to identify all individuals who are eligible for an NHS Health Check.

Eligible patients are offered a health check once in a five year period and then recalled every five years from the date on which the previous health check was offered.

|All patients registered with Barking & Dagenham, Havering, or Redbridge localities.

|All patients aged between 40-74 years with no pre-existing conditions and who haven't had a health check in the previous five years.

|The pre-existing conditions checked are:

* coronary heart disease
* chronic kidney disease (CKD) that has been classified as stage 3, 4 or 5 within the meaning of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) clinical guideline 182 on CKD
* diabetes
* hypertension
* atrial fibrillation
* transient ischaemic attack
* hypercholesterolemia
* heart failure
* peripheral arterial disease
* stroke

Plus any patients who:

* are currently being prescribed statins for the purpose of lowering cholesterol.
* have previously had an NHS Health Check, or any other check undertaken through the health service in England, and found to have a 20% or higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease over the next 10 years.
