National Home Office Project

Workare was leading the Health Screening roll out for the latest Home Office Research project into the possible effects of TETRA technology and the use of new communication systems within the UK Police Force

South Wales Constabulary were the first to sign up for the Health Screening initiative which is quite comprehensive and involves a range of clinical tests from waist measurements and blood pressure to blood tests and ECGs (see link to policehealth.org)

We use the latest laptop technology and there is a requirement for each participant to complete a questionnaire on a computer notebook at the end of the screening

The programme commenced on 12 September 2005 and is part of a 10 year research project. Workare completed their screening schedule in June 2008 having screened almost 4500 officers and staff from the south Wales force, Gwent and Dyfed Powys - Workare set "the gold standard" for screening we were told.

During the course of the screening we did pick up a few medical problems and actually saved several peoples lives by early detection of symptomless medical conditions.
