Siemens Healthineers Employee Heart Health Checks and Skin Checks

Siemens Healthineers is offering employees the opportunity to receive a free heart health check and skin check.

Even if you are fit and healthy, you may have risk factors for heart disease. High blood pressure and high cholesterol have no obvious signs, so it is important to get them checked regularly. A Heart Health Check helps you to understand your risk factors for heart disease and estimate how likely you are to have a heart attack or stroke in the next five years.

Skin cancer counts for 50 per cent of all cancers in Australia. Outdoor workers have a particularly high risk of skin cancer however; indoor workers also have a high risk of melanoma because they spend most of the week inside but are exposed to short bursts of intense sunlight on weekends and holidays.

What is it all about?

The Heart Health Check is 20 minutes in duration. An allied health professional will measure your blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol and body composition. To measure your blood glucose and cholesterol, the health professional will prick your finger to collect a small amount of blood that is collected in a tube and emptied onto a testing strip. Usually the person will only feel a small pin prick or nothing at all. Your results will be sent to you as a PDF after your appointment. If you fall into the high risk category for any of the tests, you may be advised to see your GP for further testing.

Note: These checks do not provide a diagnosis for any condition you may have, they simply assess risk. They don’t replace a visit to the GP, and if you are found to have any elevated risk factors, we will recommend you see your GP after your check. No fasting is required for the test.

The Skin Check is 15 minutes in duration. Our qualified medical professional will carry out your skin check using a dermatoscope to identify potential areas of concern. This check allows for an examination of the areas commonly exposed to the sun, including face, neck and décolletage, hands, forearms, elbows. We will also check any area(s) further nominated by you. Note that you will need to expose all areas to be checked.

Note: If you are found to have any suspicious moles, lesions or suspected skin cancers, we will recommend you see your GP after your check.
