This involves a total of an hour with our doctors and nurses where measurements of general health are taken and the individual is able to discuss any problems or questions they have with a medical professional. This can be an invaluable source of information and advice on any health issues that may affect them.
This programme is also invaluable to those in positions of responsibility who have high-pressure jobs. Often those with responsibility for the well-being of their company and employees will neglect themselves. By spending time with our experts they can be alerted to areas of their own health that may be of concern before problems develop, they can receive advice on current health problems and have the opportunity to discuss matters of health and fitness that concern them.
The medical examination will consist of:
- An interview with a doctor, including discussion re: lifestyle
- A physical examination
- Measurement of height, weight, body mass index and blood pressure
- An electrocardiogram
- A specimen of blood to be tested for: liver function test, cholesterol, full blood count
- A urine test
Although this examination is fairly comprehensive it is primarily designed to highlight areas of lifestyle which the client may wish to and be able to change. (It may help to identify a significant medical problem); however, it is not designed to diagnose all medical conditions. If the client has a particular concern, they will be able to discuss this with the doctor at the time.
Anything which the doctor feels requires further investigation or follow-up will be discussed with the client and they will be advised to contact their General Practitioner.
