Health screening literally saves lives.
There are 100,000 people living with undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes and 20,000 people or more living with undiagnosed Coeliac disease. Moreover, in a survey of Lifestyle, Attitudes and Nutrition in Ireland, 82% of respondents aged 45 or over were identified as having raised levels of Cholesterol, which is a major cardiovascular risk factor. Worryingly, nearly 44% of respondents rated their health as excellent.
Knowledge of any health risk factors, especially the silent risk factors that people may not be aware of which could potentially create problems in the future, is the first step towards a healthier life. Health screening is without doubt an important tool in this process.
However for many people finding the spare time to have a health check up can be impossible. Not only is Workplace Health Screening the answer for time poor people but it can also have a positive effect on your business as a whole.
