❤️ ✅ Telford and Wrekin Council’s Health Improvement Team in partnership with Community Pharmacy are looking to work with employers across the borough, to take part in their Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Health Check Pilot, for FREE. ✅ ❤️ ☺️ The pilot aims to reduce numbers of preventable CVD related health conditions; supporting happier healthier workplaces, improved productivity, reduced sickness absence and increased staff retention. We’re offering your employees the opportunity to access a CVD Health Check which includes a Cholesterol and Diabetes Risk test, depending on age and pre-existing conditions whilst at work. They’ll learn their own risk for Cardiovascular Disease with access to support and tools to reduce that risk, supporting them to stay well at work for longer.
