Farmer Health Checks

The Farmer Health Check programme, run by the Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA) and Croí, and funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine is a mobile health service offering free health assessments and tailored advice specifically for farmers and their families across the Republic of Ireland.

The programme provides a quick and comprehensive overview of your health, focusing on areas such as heart disease risk, early detection of diabetes, mental health, and wellbeing, as well as crucial information on prostate and skin cancer. You will also be informed about local support services available to you.

From July through to October, the Farmer Health Check mobile health unit will visit marts and agricultural events around the country, making it easy for farmers to access these vital services directly within their communities.

Health Check Structure

The programme consists of two key assessments.

Medical Assessment (10–15 minutes)

Lifestyle Assessment (5–10 minutes)

For a full and detailed overview of your health, it is recommended that you participate in both assessments.

The Farmer Health Check programme is dedicated to promoting the health and wellbeing of farmers, ensuring you have the support you need to stay healthy and informed while managing the demands of farming life.
