WACA and AWC Modaility Partnership spent a day at local engineering business Byworth Boilers doing Workplace NHS Health Checks where employers were able to have their BMI measured, have their blood pressure taken and have their blood sugars and cholesterol taken.
"A big thank you to this amazing team of volunteers from AWC Modality Partnership and the Wharfedale, Airedale & Craven Alliance who spent the day doing health checks for all our team yesterday.
Everyone leads such busy lives these days with work, families and other commitments that looking after our health often gets neglected. By running these workshops in businesses during work time, employees aren't trying to fit in check ups around their already busy schedules, putting their health first.
Health checks like these can help spot early signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other potentially serious illnesses. Spotting these things early makes them more treatable and is better for you and the NHS. Win win.
We hope to see more businesses in the local area hosting similar days for their team!"
