A temporary 'health bus' service will hit Norfolk and Waveney's roads from next week to deliver free check-ups and information.

A team of health professionals will be getting on board a red double-decker bus for two weeks and will be visiting communities to help improve people's health

From February 11, the health bus will be offering drop-in check-ups and health advice, including blood pressure, body mass index, and lung strength checks. People will also be offered healthy lifestyle information, such as support to quit smoking and how to reduce their alcohol intake.

The health bus will be hosted by NHS Norfolk and Waveney in partnership with Norfolk County Council and Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust.

Lucy Macleod, interim director of public health at NHS Norfolk and Waveney, said: 'Everyone has really busy lives and often our health can be put at the bottom of the priority list. The health bus is the perfect opportunity for us to bring services out to the public, in their own community, to encourage people to have a check-up and stay healthy.'

Anna Morgan, director of nursing, quality and operations at Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust, added: 'We always strive to make our services as accessible as possible and this health bus will give us a unique opportunity to visit patients closer to their homes.'
