“I think this is an excellent welfare opportunity for employees. Having the ability to undertake a good health summary and receive meaningful and actionable data is a great way to help people make changes to improve their health or seek further medical advice.”

“It was great being able to pop in for this while at work – I would never have attended an external appointment. It was very convenient and eye-opening to get my cholesterol checked for the first time.”

“Friendly and easy-going staff, quick, easy and (almost) painless tests. Reassuring and informative.”
