72 year old 5 year health check

Dickens 👍
I'm sure there was a thread on here about this a while back.

Could you check on the NHS App all test results are there and they show wether your results are normal or otherwise with what needs to be done, i:e see GP, speak to nurse etc.

Financial Incentives: The NHS QOF (Quality and Outcomes Framework) system heavily rewards GP practices financially for identifying eligible patients and prescribing cholesterol-lowering treatments. Practices must meet extremely high targets to secure this funding.

Millions of New Patients: Following updated guidance from NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), millions of people with a 10-year CVD risk score of 10% or more are now eligible. Many feel this casts the net too wide, essentially putting low-risk individuals on medication.

I've heard and seen questions asked about this matter previously, so I asked Google if Statins were being 'pushed' on NHS patients' and the above was the response - Google also advised...

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

If you feel you are being pushed into taking a statin, speak openly with your GP about your QRISK score, your personal preferences, and whether modifying your diet or increasing exercise is a viable alternative to medication.

You and me both, Aveline, yet my husband's were normal.
I've never been satisfactory at school, always very good or excellent, so I was a bit miffed!
I don't care if I'm not normal, as long as it's ok! 🤣

OLLYgr if it ain't broke, don't fix it is my theory. Don't worry.

When my blood test results came back all I was told was that they were 'satisfactory'. I really didn't know what to think about that. Statins not suggested.
