Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms screening by invite

Calling all men of the North East

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) are a weakening in the aorta (the main artery in your body) that can swell and rupture causing fatal internal bleeding. They usually don’t have symptoms and are most common in men aged over 65.

AAA screening is a free NHS national programme that invites men in the year they turn 65, to attend a quick and painless 10 minute ultrasound scan.

You will receive your invitation through the post when you’re eligible. Please DON’T ignore it. It could save your life!

If you need to rearrange your appointment give us a call on: 0191 445 8747

Yesterday, Gaynor and Gill had the pleasure of visiting NUR Fitness to chat with local women about what ageing well means to them in Middlesbrough and how carers can have their voices heard. 💜

Alongside some health checks, including blood pressure monitoring, we enjoyed some delicious biryani and most importantly, heard valuable insights and experiences that will help shape future support and services.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to speak with us and share their views.

Mobility scooters, aids, carers are all welcome and the walks are aiming to be dementia friendly too.

We will be using our new accessible to most trail which is approx 1.6k long with benches every 100m and options to cut it shorter. We will also invite people to join us for a cuppa and some social time afterwards.
