    Information about the scheme

    The Healthy Workplaces and wider Better Health North Somerset team partnered with Pier Health Group to deliver 1,196 health checks to employees aged 30 years and over within workplaces as part of a National pilot programme.   

    These checks spot the early signs of heart disease and provide people with the information they need to reduce their risk of having a heart attack, stroke, kidney disease or developing diabetes or dementia. 

    The pilot programme has now come to an end and we can share with you the overall local results whilst we await the national evaluation. 

    If your workplace would like to have the opportunity to offer any future health check programmes to your employees, please contact healthyworkplaces@n-somerset.gov.uk 

    Information for employees and employers

    Most of us spend a large proportion of our time at work, whether that is going out somewhere to work or working from home. Workplaces plays a key role in contributing to the health and wellbeing of employees, which in turn supports the health of the organisation.

    We would like to support those who work in North Somerset to be as healthy as possible. Please find below local support in North Somerset:
