Employee Health Screening
Employees are the life blood of any business so their productivity is crucial to any successful commercial enterprise. Employee health screens are less comprehensive than executive screens and involve blood tests only. Any abnormal results should be followed up with the employee’s GP. The following tests are used to assess their biochemical health status.
| Test | Risk Factor Assessed |
| Full Blood Examination | Blood Disorders / Anaemia |
| Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate | Disease Process /Â Inflammatory Disorders |
| C-Reactive Protein | Disease Process /Â Inflammatory Disorders |

Executive Health Screening
Executives are instrumental in guiding your business forward. Your company has a vested interest in them staying healthy. Executives typically work long hours and are exposed to higher than normal levels of stress. Preventing health problems before they occur is often the best strategy.
Executives undergo a comprehensive medical examination which takes into account lifestyle, risk factors, occupational stress, and other key risk areas. The examination usually takes approximately one hour and can include a stress ECG, a test for visual acuity, and a hearing assessment. A chest x-ray is optional.
After this assessment a series of blood tests are performed to investigate the physiological and biochemical status of the client. The following blood tests are performed:
| Test | Risk Factor Assessed |
| Full Blood Examination | Blood Disorders, Anaemia |
| Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate | Inflammatory Disorders /Disease Process |
