Breast Health Check
With Breast Cancer rates rising in the UK and now affecting younger, employment-age women, a Breast Health Check may be a service that your female employees would find helpful.
The Breast Health Check is carried out on your premises and is available to your female staff. Each appointment takes approximately 30 minutes per person. It can also be offered as a Breast Health Awareness package in conjunction with our Breast Health Talk.

Health Questionnaire
This is a vital part of the assessment as it allows the nurse consultant to identify current or potential areas which may increase breast cancer risk. The questionnaire should be given to each employee to complete prior to their assessment. To view an example of a health questionnaire, click here.
Weight and Height
Checking the employee’s weight and height will determine Body Mass Index (BMI). This is a scoring system used by the medical profession to ascertain if someone is underweight, overweight or obese for their height. Being overweight or obese increases breast cancer risk.
Visual Inspection Video
This short video shows a woman performing a visual inspection of her breasts in a mirror which teaches the signs every woman should be looking for when performing their own examination. For future reference, the employee will have exclusive access to the video clip online after her appointment.
