MOT Clinic These clinics are run by the practice nurses. They offer a health 'MOT' which has particular emphasis on measures to reduce the risk of heart disease (the main cause of death in this country). This clinic is aimed at anybody aged 20-75. Appointments are made in the usual way. The nurse will check your current state of health by checking your height, weight and blood pressure and testing your urine (please remember to bring a specimen). Where appropriate she will take a blood sample to check your cholesterol level. She will then give you advice on how to reduce your risks of developing disease. She can also offer help to lose weight and give up smoking. At your appointment you will be given a thorough assessment and a treatment plan will be agreed. On completion of your treatment you will be discharged. Should another problem occur, a further referral will be required before you are able to gain access to the service.
