UCL Workplace Health launches a ‘Heart Health Check’ pilot for staff at UCL East
20 February 2023
The pilot will help staff to understand more about their current heart health and explore lifestyle changes which could support their health and wellbeing.
About the pilot
UCL Workplace Health is launching a Heart Health Check pilot for all staff members based on the UCL East campus to help understand their risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Delivered jointly by an Occupational Health Advisor and Wellbeing Lead, the Heart Health Check incorporates: a CVD risk assessment using the QRISK calculator; blood cholesterol assessment (finger-prick test); blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) measurements. Based on your results, the Occupational Health Advisor and Wellbeing Lead will discuss with you an appropriate action plan, including lifestyle changes which you could make to support your health and wellbeing.
