title: Taking the lead role in care delivery.
abstract: The NHS community services in my local area are offering free health checks. My invitation letter offered me a choice - I could take the enclosed form to my GP, get another form and go to a phlebotomy clinic, then wait 2 weeks and go back to my GP for the blood test result and the health check; or alternatively, I could go to my local pharmacy, have a blood test and assessment, all in one visit. I thought 'no contest, I am going to the pharmacy for my health check!'
