Why participate in a virtual health assessment?

It is important to keep track of your health and wellbeing. There are many checks you can do from the comfort of your own home. By undertaking these checks and following up your results with your Healthcare Practitioner, we will be able to provide you with practical solutions and advice to assist further in your health and wellbeing, and provide guidance if you need to seek medical advice, for which you will have some useful and informative information at hand.

What checks will be carried out?

Prequalification questionnaire to include:

Lifestyle questions:

There will be a number of checks you will be required to undertake PRIOR to your appointment with your Healthcare Practitioner and you must have the results (data) to hand at your virtual appointment. These are all explained in this document.

Booking the virtual health check, completing your details and the pre-assessment questionnaire takes around 5 minutes.

The home test kits will be posted to you approximately 1-2 weeks prior to your appointment. When you receive these it’s time to undertake your self-checks before your appointment. Set aside some time to complete these checks, we suggest you will require approximately 30 minutes. Add your results to your My Results form and have this to hand for your appointment. The My Results form is included in the Confirmation email and a hard copy is included within your home test kit. Please do not return your My Results form to The Healthy Employee Ltd, but retain this information to discuss at the time of your appointment.

Data Protection

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) aims to promote high standards in the handling of personal information and so protect the individual’s right to privacy.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect on May 25th 2018 and replaced the Data Protection Act 1998.

GDPR is concerned with respecting the rights of individuals when processing their personal information.

We do not share your personal data with your employer or any third parties.

Following the virtual health assessments The Healthy Employee Ltd provides an aggregated group report to the client which does not refer to an individual by name the aim of which is to inform future health and wellbeing strategy.

What pre-assessment checks do I need to do before my virtual appointment?

Part 1 - Complete the pre-assessment questionnaire

On booking your appointment using the online booking system there will be a lifestyle pre-assessment questionnaire to complete, this takes only 5 minutes. Please complete this at the time of booking. These questions will cover aspects of your diet and lifestyle and will focus on:

  • Smoking awareness
  • Perceived stress
  • Perceived eating habits (diet)
  • Alcohol intake awareness
  • Sleep awareness
  • Exercise awareness

Please answer all the questions as accurately as you can when undertaking the questionnaire.

Part 2 – Self checks

Glucose (diabetes) and Cholesterol Testing

These tests will be in a pack together and there will be 2 tests each.

Cholesterol – this test requires some blood (2 drops) through a ‘skin prick test’. All the instructions are in the ‘Instructions and My Results form’ document attached to your booking confirmation email. It is important to read the instructions before you carry out the test.

Glucose (Diabetes) – this requires a small amount of urine to complete the test – this tests both for blood sugar and ketones in your urine. All the instructions are in the ‘Instructions and My Results form’ document attached to your booking confirmation email. It is important to read the instructions before you carry out the test.

 

When you have undertaken these tests, note down the results immediately on the ‘My Results’ form.

 

For females only

Thyroid Testing

The major hormones the thyroid gland makes are called T4 or thyroxine and T3 or triiodothyronine. The production of these hormones are stimulated by another hormone called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). This test detects Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH).
The thyroid hormones are very important as they control the rate at which the body uses and stores energy from the food we eat (the metabolic rate).

This test requires some blood (2 drops) by undertaking a ‘skin prick test’. All the instructions are in the ‘Instructions and My Results form’ document attached to your booking confirmation email.

It is important to read the instructions before you carry out the test.

 

When you have undertaken this test, note down the results immediately on the ‘My Results’ form.

 

For males only

Prostate (PSA) Testing

This test has been designed so that you can identify the levels of P.S.A. (Prostate Specific Antigen) present in your blood. P.S.A. is a chemical that appears in your bloodstream in higher concentrations when there may be a challenge with the prostate gland. This test requires some blood (2 drops) by undertaking a ‘skin prick test’. All the instructions are in the ‘Instructions and My Results form’ document attached to your booking confirmation email. It is important to read the instructions before you carry out the test.

 

When you have undertaken these tests, note down the results immediately on the ‘My Results’ form. 

 

You have now completed all the data/tests required for your Virtual Health Assessment.

 

Please ensure you have your data/results available for your Healthcare Practitioner on the day of your appointment.

Although self-tests are a useful tool, they are based on a one-off result and are not an alternative for NHS screening programmes. A number of factors may provide a positive or negative result and your virtual health check consultation is based on the results provided by you. Always consult a medical practitioner if you have any health concerns. A GP will conduct an appropriate assessment and advise further investigations or examinations where necessary.
