Uptake has been patchy and there is limited understanding about factors that may limit or enhance uptake in prison settings. Uptake of this programme is a key policy in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and death in these settings.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Semi-structured focus groups were conducted with groups of prisoners (attendees and non-attendees to the health check), prison healthcare staff, custodial staff and ex-prisoners (n\u00a0=\u00a050). Participants were asked about their awareness and experiences of the NHS Health Check Programme in prison.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>All groups highlighted barriers for not attending a health check appointment, such as poor accessibility to the healthcare department, stigma and fear. The majority of participants expressed a lack of awareness and discussed common misconceptions regarding the health check programme. Methods of increasing the uptake of health checks through group-based approaches and accessibility to healthcare were suggested.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study reports on prisoner, staff and ex-prisoner perspectives on the implementation of NHS Health Checks within a restrictive prison environment.
