Survey shows Enhanced Health Checks are reassuring and easy to access for people affected by the Grenfell Tower fire

Published on: Wednesday 29 October 2025

Nearly 10,000 Enhanced Health Check have taken place since the service launched in August 2019.

A recent analysis of patient feedback shows that Enhanced Health Checks (EHCs) continue to make a real difference to the health and wellbeing of people affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.

Based on 266 completed surveys from patients who attended an in person Enhanced Health Check at their GP practice:

  • 93% found it easy or fairly easy to book an appointment
  • 89% described their experience as very good or good
  • 92% said the healthcare professional they saw was very good or good at listening
  • 65% said the check helped to reassure them about their health — with nearly half (47%) feeling definitely assured
  • Since the service began in August 2019, nearly 10,000 Enhanced Health Checks have taken place. The checks are designed to support people’s physical and emotional health and are tailored to the needs of those directly and indirectly affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.

As well as being available through local GP practices, Enhanced Health Checks are now also being offered at community venues in North Kensington — making it even easier to access the support locally.

The free checks include:

  • Blood pressure
  • Body Mass Index (BMI)
  • Diabetes risk
  • Mental health support
  • Lifestyle advice and onward referrals where appropriate

If you live or work in the area and were affected by the Grenfell Tower fire, you’re eligible.
