Free health check for all the community

 Free Health Check for all community

Windsor Housing is inviting residents to take part in a free Health MOT, on Wednesday 29th July. The health checks are available between 12 and 4pm in the marquee on Moorland Road, Heron Wood, as part of the Hampshire Family Learning Afternoon and are designed to help improve the health of the local community.

In partnership with Rushmoor Healthy Living and Pavilion Housing, Windsor is offering members of the local community the opportunity to get their blood pressure checked, body fat ratio measured and have their glucose and cholesterol levels tested. The results are immediate and they will then be able to obtain advice on simple lifestyle changes that can be made to improve their general health or given a referral to their GP.

Fitness professionals and staff from RHL will be on hand to provide free, confidential, one-to-one support to enable people to make healthier lifestyle choices. They are able to provide health information and recommend services available in the local area such as healthy eating, exercise classes, weight management sessions and quit smoking clinics.

Participants will also be invited for a follow-up health check to track positive changes to their health and wellbeing since the first health check. A selection of participants will also be offered a range of further support from NHS Health Trainers who are employed by RHL to help them achieve specific health goals.

This free event follows a successful Health MOT held in the Mayfield Community Centre at the beginning of the month.
