Staff are reminded that they are eligible for a free health assessment in November as part of the Health and Wellbeing Program run by Flinders and Bupa.
The health assessment provides staff with important insight into their current health status and is delivered by a registered nurse.
The assessment includes:
- Blood pressure screening
- Total blood cholesterol screening
- HDL cholesterol screening
- Blood glucose screening
- Waist measurement
- Type 2 diabetes risk assessment
- Cardiovascular disease risk assessment
- Tobacco smoking status
- Results consultation and recommendation/s
Early detection of health conditions such as high blood pressure or cholesterol can provide the catalyst for positive health behaviour changes and may lead to the prevention of serious health conditions.
No fasting is required for this activity.
The health assessment takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and participants will receive a personal result card after their consultation.
