A Health Fair provision allows you to maximise the potential for staff to look at lifestyle issues in the workplace setting, and it cal also be opened up to your clients, staff's family or even the local community. The Fair can take place over lunchtime, before or after working hours or set up during the working day.

 

The Chip Van
Our Mobile Healthy Living Centre (CHIP Van) can also be on site to act as a consultation room for the health check provision if your office space is at a premium.
The vehicle provides information on health related topics and can act as a drop in centre with a signposting service for other health services such as smoking cessation, mental health, sexual health and counselling services. The consultation area can also be used as an on-site massage or reflexology area allowing the session to be completely personal and undisturbed.
