Literature review

To support the now-disbanded Expert Scientific and Clinical Advisory Panel (ESCAP) to remain up to date with emerging evidence and perform its role of bringing greater scientific rigour to the NHS Health Check programme, a search of the literature was completed every three months. This search focused on identifying new literature on the programme and general health checks. Findings from this search can be found in the documents below. The search does not include a critical or quality appraisal of references identified but includes a summary or abstract on the work where this is available.
