Get an NHS Health Check at Work
Haringey employers will soon be able to offer NHS Health Checks to their employees in the workplace.
It’s part of a government-funded national pilot which is bringing together local authorities with employers to deliver NHS Health Checks into workplaces across the country.
Haringey GP Federation has been commissioned by Public Health Haringey to deliver the programme in Haringey.
It will enable Haringey based employers to offer comprehensive heart health checks to their employees. The checks can help detect people at higher risk of a range of diseases and help them to access effective treatment and take preventative action.
These checks save lives. Every year the NHS Health Check programme engages over 1.3 million people in England and prevents an estimated 300 premature deaths.
Research shows that not everyone who is eligible for a health check completes one. The Haringey pilot will make it easier and more convenient for people who work here to sign up for a life-saving check in the convenience of their workplace.
The pilot service will run until the end of March 2025, helping local employers to offer these voluntary checks and prevent illness among their workforce. It is also expected to save thousands of hours of valuable NHS time and reduce overall waiting lists. Haringey GP Federation will be in touch with Haringey employers from September to let them know how to get involved.
