Members Health Day - Saturday 15th February
Following on from the success of last year’s first Annual Members Health Event, we are delighted to invite our members to join us for this exciting free health day within our Outpatients Department.
We are planning the event will be even bigger and better and is set to include:
• Behind the scenes tours will be available on the day including the chance to view one of our Operating Theatres and Radiology.
• Health Checks to include a Body Composition Assessment, which entails:
- Assessment of Body Fat % - reducing body fat has shown to reduce the risk of certain conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
- Total Body Water % - this is the total amount of fluid in a persons’ body expressed as a percentage of total weight.
- Muscle Mass – indicates the weight of muscle mass in your body.
- Visceral Fat Rating – this is the fat in the internal abdominal cavity surrounding vital organs of the trunk (abs area).
In addition to this, there will be an opportunity to try a Indian Head Massage, Back/Shoulder Massage, Reiki or Reflexology treatment on the day. Please note that these health checks and treatments are very popular and will be available by appointment only.
Appointments can be made from 9am on Monday 20th January by calling 0151 600 1410 or emailing membership.office@lhch.nhs.uk.
• Blood Pressure Testing.
• Opportunity to meet with our Smoking Cessation Advisor and Dietitians to receive lifestyle and dietary advice.
