Health Screening
There is no doubt that a screening programme improves health with early identification of disease and helps to address any personal or life style issues.
Early diagnosis can, admittedly, increase short term cost under a private medical insurance but the balance being that long term costs are reduced.
There are now a range of screens and associated costs so this need not be the traditional reserve for senior executive.
Online health assessment
Now available at no additional cost from several insurers these offer a proactive, interactive health programme for your employees to use online.
It is something that employees can tap into at any time to get their own individual health assessment including step-by-step guides to improving their own health, well-being and lifestyle. Reassessments can then be taken to measure progress.
Mobile health assessment & screen
Purpose built mobile screening units can visit your own company locations and minimise any overall disruptions to work.
A surprisingly wide range of services and assessments can be tailored to your requirements and include:
- Lifestyle assessment and advice
- Blood pressure
- Lung function
- Blood tests
Pre-employment health assessment & screen
Recruitment is difficult and expensive enough but a pre-employment health assessment can really provide safeguards to identify likely future sickness absence and help employer and employee to ensure a “good fit” to the proposed role.
Not least this means compliance with Health & Safety legislation.
Assessments range from a postal questionnaire to a full physical examination.
Comprehensive health assessment & screen
A comprehensive health assessment & screen will typically take place at a private hospital within comfortable surroundings.
There will also be time with a medical clinician (nurse or GP) immediately following the assessment to provide a one to one review of conclusions and a future action plan.
Again a range of options and tests at different price points are available with services including:
- Liver, kidney and thyroid functions
- Exercise electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Bowel cancer
- For women breast check and awareness, cervical smear
- For men testicular examination, prostrate cancer test
