Having a Health Check Jackie Fleeman

Your Body We can’t see inside. Ask people to show fingers, head, arms, eyes, teeth, ears, legs. How do you know when you are not well – sick, pain, broken, bleeding, hot/ temperature, cry, feel bad etc. Use pictures. Now point to Heart, brain, bowel, intestines, kidneys, liver…..more difficult! Parts of your body can be ill without you seeing or knowing about it, and sometimes without you feeling it. What can help to keep you healthy? Health checks! Different kind of health checks name some Dr, Dentist, optician, audiologist, chiropody, etc. I’m going to tell you about having a health check at the Drs We can’t see inside.

A Health Check will help The Dr or Nurse will ask you questions. It would be a good idea to go with information about your health and your family’s- why? After your health check you might be asked to go to other health appointments.
