Medway Healthy Workplaces

Grain LNG initiates cardiovascular health programme with Medway Public Health We were pleased to host the first session of a new cardiovascular programme at Grain LNG, in partnership with Medway Public Health. This initiative is part of a national pilot focusing on improving awareness and prevention of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) in the workplace. Yesterday, Dr. David Whiting, Interim Director of Medway Public Health, and Georgina Crossman visited to observe the health checks carried out by Dale Jobson and Justine O'Neill from the Medway Public Health team. Launching in mid-October with Medway Healthy Workplaces, the Heart MOT service aims to address factors that contribute to CVD, which is a major cause of death and disability in the UK. This service is a proactive approach to managing health risks associated with cardiovascular conditions. This pilot will run until March 2025 and will test its effectiveness in boosting public health, with the hope of becoming a permanent feature of Medway's health offerings. We are proud to be selected as the pilot site for this vital project, reflecting our commitment to the health and wellbeing of our team and the wider community.

I'm very grateful to work with a great team on the Medway Healthy Workplaces programme. It's great to see the Royal Society for Public Health "A Better Way of Doing Business" report out today. I've worked in this field for 10 years. A lot of progress has been made but there is still a lot to do. The fact that almost half of those working in the UK don't have access to any sort of health support at work simply is not right. As the report says, "We need to harness every part of society to promote and protect the health of the public". Looking forward to seeing what develops from their recommendations: 💡 A government mandated set of health and work standards to ensure the minimum support is in place 💡Living wage sick pay from day one 💡Upskilling HR professionals with support from Occupational health to embed health improvement in the workplace 💡Standardised data collection for workplace health measures. Of course if you want to get ahead of the curve, and are a business based in Medway we can help with giving you some advice on getting some support in place, upskilling your staff to embed health in the workplace and help with a staff survey too. (Sorry we are public funded service so can't help with sick pay!) https://lnkd.in/e75vggkN #healthatwork #staffwellbeing #publichealth
