We are excited to announce our participation in a Government pilot to expand NHS health checks.
The Oldham Active Health MOT offers businesses in the borough of Oldham a free workplace health check designed to help employees spot early warning signs of health conditions, such as heart disease and strokes.
Heart disease and strokes are among the leading causes of death in the UK, resulting in an astonishing £14 billion in lost productivity each year. This initiative is a valuable resource for promoting wellbeing in your workplace.
Arranging a Health MOT visit at your workplace.
We can provide the Health MOT service in most workplaces.
We’ll need a few basic facilities, such as a private space for confidential conversations, a power supply and a table and chairs. Additionally, we would appreciate your assistance in promoting this opportunity and motivating your employees to take advantage of the Health MOT during work hours.
We require a minimum of 4 employees to provide an on-site workplace health check. On average, an individual health check takes 20 minutes.
For larger businesses, the health checks typically take place over one or two days, depending on how many employees you have.
Limited facilities at your workplace?
We can also conduct the program at one of our Oldham Active leisure centres if that suits you. When enquiring, please let us know if you would like to use our facilities.
We will provide the tools (via an online form) to check the employee’s eligibility for a health check and manage the bookings.
What can your employees expect on the day?
Your employees can get a free Workplace Health Check if they are between 25 and 74, have not had an NHS Health Check in the last five years, and have not been diagnosed with certain *health conditions.
During the 20-minute health check, our trained Health Improvement Service Advisors (HISA) will take measurements of your employees:
- Blood pressure.
- Cholesterol (via a fingertip blood sample – No scary needles!).
- Height, weight and your waist (BMI).
- And discuss the employee’s family history, smoking, alcohol and physical activity levels.
Our Health Improvement Service Advisor explains the results to the employee during the health check. The results are forwarded to their registered GP, who will update their records. The employee will also receive a results card to take to a GP.
All results are confidential. If further assistance or a referral to a GP is necessary, we will discuss this and provide support during their health check. The advisors offer lifestyle guidance on physical activity, diet, nutrition and overall wellbeing.
All employees who take part in a health check will receive a FREE 7-day pass (worth over £20) to use any Oldham Active Leisure Centre.
