The Deadly Trio programme offered cardiovascular health checks to men over 40 in inner-city Birmingham. The aim was to increase diagnosis of diabetes, cardiovascular and kidney disease among this deprived and ethnically diverse population. Either patients' own general practitioners (GPs) were paid to provide health checks or patients were invited to an alternative provider.
