Overview
What is an Employee Health Screening?
An employee health screening is a health assessment to help employers monitor and support the wellbeing of their workforce. This proactive approach uses a range of diagnostics to identify early signs of illness or underlying health conditions before they become more serious.
Employee health screenings help uncover potential health issues such as high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
After receiving the results of the corporate health screenings, preventative health measures can then be recommended, helping you maintain a healthy and supported workforce.
Health Screening is one of the most important and meaningful ways that employers can support employee health in the workplace. We see it every day in a diverse range of workplaces; by taking a preventative approach to health and wellbeing, employees who wouldn’t otherwise visit their GP are able to get ahead of health issues before they develop into something more serious, like heart disease, type-2 diabetes, and a range of other cardiovascular conditions.
The Numbers
Why Early Detection Matters
of adults had hypertension (high blood pressure), including 15% with untreated hypertension.
of adults in the UK have raised cholesterol, with the most at-risk being those between the ages of 45 and 64 (71%).
people in the UK are estimated to be living with type-2 diabetes who aren’t yet diagnosed.
Why Screen
Why Should your Workplace have a Corporate Health Screening Day?
While your business isn’t legally required to offer employee health screenings, they are an incredibly beneficial tool for supporting employee health. A workplace health screening day will give attendees three key stats, regardless of which option you choose:
Blood pressure
Printed on the spot from a medically validated monitor
Cholesterol
From a quick finger-prick test, analysed in minutes
Blood glucose
From the same finger-prick sample
These are all major factors when it comes to heart health. If you don’t look after these numbers, you can be at risk of conditions such as:
And these problems can occur at any stage in life. So not only is it the right thing to do for your employees, but it makes good business sense to keep your staff in good health with a workplace health screening day, too.

The 10-minute option is a simple finger-prick test, allowing us to see more attendees in a day.

On the Day
What happens on the day of your Employee Health Screening?
Blood Pressure Testing
Employees will use our medically-validated blood pressure monitors to get an accurate score, printed out on a small slip of paper.
Cholesterol & Glucose Checks
Next, our practitioner will perform a small finger-prick blood test on the employee to get cholesterol and blood glucose scores.
Body Composition Scales
Employees step onto our medically-validated body composition scales, which pass a small electric signal (it can’t even be felt) through the legs in just a few seconds to measure body fat, muscle mass and more.
Review and Lifestyle Advice
Our practitioner goes through the results with employees, helping them plot their scores on our tracker sheets. Employees are free to share their results, or keep them private if they wish.
Retesting and Referrals
If an employee has high-risk results (particularly blood pressure), they’re invited back for re-testing later in the day. If results are still high, our practitioner will suggest the next course of action, such as visiting a GP.
How it Works
How does an Employee Health Screening work?
Cholesterol and blood glucose scores are risk indicators for multiple cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, regular testing can help employees identify their risk of illnesses such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
During an appointment, our practitioner will use a small finger-prick device to draw a droplet of blood from the employee’s finger. This is then placed onto a test strip and analysed using a medically validated testing device.
Our practitioners can then give employees their full scores, and offer specific advice and even GP referrals based on the results, according to NICE guidelines.

What are the benefits of workplace health screening?
Both of our employee health screening options include:
- Blood pressure testing.
- Cholesterol testing.
- Blood glucose testing.
Additionally, the 20-minute health screening includes full body-composition analysis, which gives attendees stats such as:
- Body fat percentage.
- Muscle mass.
- Visceral fat rating.
- Metabolic age and rate.
- Plus more.
Our practitioner will talk the attendees through their results during these one-to-one session, allowing them to get highly personalised advice and goals to improve their future health.
Knowing these results, and working to improve them, can help employees reduce their risk of a number of cardiovascular conditions, such as:
- High blood pressure.
- Heart disease.
- Heart attack.
- Strokes.
- Type-2 diabetes.
What's the difference between 10 and 20-minute screenings?
Our 10-minute employee health screening allows for up to 40 appointments in one day, testing:
- Blood pressure.
- Cholesterol.
- Blood glucose.
The 20-minute screening is longer, meaning fewer appointments are available during the day, up to 20 total. During this session, we run all of the same tests as the 10-minute screening, in addition to:
- Body Fat
- Visceral Fat
- Muscle Mass
- BMI
- Metabolic Rate & Age.
Both screenings include one-to-one feedback and goal-setting with an expert practitioner.
When choosing a screening option, the best question to ask yourself is: Would you like to reach more staff with some key tests, or would you prefer to reach fewer staff, but offer more in-depth tests?
Is this an NHS blood test?
The finger-prick blood test approach is the same approach used in the NHS Health Check.
The equipment we use is all clinically validated, so you can rest assured that results will be accurate and useful.
It’s important to note, however, that this is not a full diagnostic blood test. If we detect abnormal results that indicate a risk for cholesterol or blood glucose, we’ll recommend that you visit your GP to get a full blood test (drawn from your arm and sent away for testing) for further investigation. This is the same process that you’d go through during an NHS Health Check.
Who carries out the screening tests?
All of our health screening appointments are carried out by one of our expert health practitioners. Your practitioner will be qualified in physiology, as well as having extensive experience in providing health advice and signposting.
In addition to this, we also train all of our practitioners internally to follow our rigorous IQA procedures, which adhere to NICE and NHS guidelines. We also perform regular assessments and observations with our practitioners to ensure that your workplace health screening appointments are carried out to the highest standards.
What's the format of the health screening appointment?
We run our screening services as one-to-one appointments. This means that the attendee will be able to discuss their family history and any existing concerns or conditions in more detail with our practitioner. Similarly, the attendee will get personalised feedback and goal setting with our health practitioner.
Our health screening days can be run alongside other wellbeing interventions in the workplace, and work particularly well as part of a workplace wellbeing fair.
Can we have more appointments during the day?
Absolutely. We have a team of highly experienced and qualified health practitioners who can facilitate appointments in your workplace on the same day.
One practitioner can host up to 40 one-to-one appointments during a day, two practitioners can host up to 80, and so on.
If you’d like to deploy mass health screening in your workplace, just fill out the form below and we’ll get back to you to discuss format options.
What other wellbeing services do you offer?
Alongside employee health screenings, we also offer a wide range of physical wellbeing services, including employee health checks, menopause support, vitamin D testing, and workplace massage services.
