Self-health kiosk

The Self-Health Kiosk is a screening kiosk designed to let patients take control of their own health.

Patients registered to a GP surgery with a health kiosk can log in and take standard NHS health checks, take vital signs measurements and questionnaires/ assessments for:

  • Diabetes
  • Menopause
  • Asthma
  • Blood Pressure
  • Oral Contraception
  • Anxiety

The Health Kiosks allow patients to answer health questions from a library of Care Pathways and take vital signs measurements independently of a clinician. The results are then integrated onto the patient record, ready for a clinician to review. The Health Kiosks can take care of blood pressure, height and weight and take patients through different questionnaires so that, when you are with a clinician, this information is already to hand.

There is no need to make an appointment, visit the surgery and use the kiosk whenever its convenient for you. The Self-Health Kiosk can be found in the waiting rooms, in all our surgeries.
