Tuesday 8th March is when we are celebrating International Women’s Day – the 2022 campaign is ‘Break the Bias’. Within the workplace, this means gender equality, inclusiveness and a environment free from bias, stereotypes and discrimination.
We believe it’s a great chance to celebrate the women in your workplace by firstly acknowledging International Women’s Day, and secondly rewarding them with health assessments or education sessions to support their health and wellbeing.
Health Assessments:
Our nurses visit your workplace to conduct one-on-one health assessments which entail the following:
– Heart health check;
– Diabetes screening;
– Cholesterol screening;
– Wellbeing screening;
– Body composition screening and possible risk factors for the above mentioned;
– Screening and reminders when certain checks are due – dental, eye, immunisations, cervical cancer screening, bone density and bowel screening.
One-on-one assessments allow a safe place for concerns and questions to be discussed with our highly skilled nurses and advice/referrals are made where necessary.
This month is also Endometriosis Awareness Month. According to Cochrane.org (2022), endometriosis is an inflammatory condition where endometrial tissue (tissue similar to the lining of the uterus) grows outside the uterus.
It is estimated that 1 in 10 women have endometriosis.
Signs and Symptoms:
– Painful periods;
– Chronic pelvic pain;
– Chronic abdominal pain;
– Excessive cramps;
Medical advice should always be taken for each individual case or concern.
