Are your staff fit for work?

But how many of us have seriously thought about how we can reduce these costs?

Health screening can detect personal and occupational risk factors to help prevent disease. It may help improve our chances of living longer and the quality of our lives, including the time we spend at work. The early detection of symptoms combined with realistic advice can lead to a happier and healthier workforce.

It can bring peace of mind to the employer, because the health of employees is key to the company's success.

The Saxon Clinic, in Eaglestone is a 40 bed private hospital which can offer that peace of mind.

Equipped with the latest technology and skilled specialist staff the Saxon Clinic can undertake a wide range of treatment from routine investigations and health screening to major surgery.

A Health Screening Programme offers a comprehensive range of screens, including those designed specifically to your requirements.

"We acknowledge that time equals money, so some screens can be carried out in the workplace, at a time convenient to you," says a spokeswoman.

"From Pre-employment and VDU screens to LGV/HGV medicals and executive screens, we can offer you the reassurance that your employees are fit for work.

"Numerous local companies have already benefited. Through the early identification of disease, their employees have undergone successful treatment for conditions that may not have been identified as soon without their employers' commitment to their health.
