We’re supporting the Department of Health and Social Care and the NHS to encourage all adults to take the new Healthy Choices Quiz; a simple 5‑minute online quiz designed to help you understand how your lifestyle may be affecting your health and wellbeing.

The quiz asks questions across six key areas: movement, eating, alcohol, smoking or vaping, mental health, and sleep. You’ll receive a score out of 10 along with clear, personalised recommendations based on your answers. It’s a quick and easy first step if you’re looking to feel healthier but aren’t sure where to start.

Once completed, you’ll be guided to a range of free NHS tools and apps, including:
