Keep your business in working order

Company employees are a valuable asset and a healthy workforce is vital for maintaining productivity in the workplace. Research shows that UK workers collectively take more than 200 million working days off work due to sickness every year, costing the economy approximately 12 billion. Preventicum, the new state-of-the-art clinic for preventive check-ups, is introducing specific packages for corporate clients, to help sustain a healthy and efficient workforce.

Preventicum is based in West London and offers the most advanced and safest, radiation-free check-ups available, combining doctor-led check-ups with personalised care and the very latest medical technology, in luxury ë6-starí surroundings ñ it is the first clinic of its kind in the UK.

As well as Preventicumís original ëUltimateí full-body MOT, the clinic is introducing two new levels of check-up exclusively for corporate clients: the ëEssentialí and ëEssential Plusí health-checks.

Essential: for executives
The Essential lasts up to two and a half hours and costs 675. The Essential includes an initial consultation with Medical Director, Dr Garry Savin, resting ECG, lung function test, exercise test, hearing test, glaucoma screen, over 40 blood tests, urine analysis, a detailed results consultation and a personalised written report with lifestyle advice.

Essential Plus: for senior management
The Essential Plus lasts up to three and a half hours and costs 990. In addition to all the Essential examinations, this check-up also includes full ultrasound examinations of the carotid arteries, liver, kidneys, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, prostate (men)/ ovaries and womb (women).

Ultimate: for key decision makers
The Ultimate check-up is the most advanced and safest, radiation-free, full-body MOT available in the UK. The check-up lasts five hours and costs 2,750. In addition to all the examinations above, the Ultimate also includes a unique, radiation-free MRI scan of the brain, heart, arteries and colon. As part of the concluding consultation, clients will be taken on a unique virtual tour of their body by Director of Radiology Dr Joerg Kandyba, using the hundreds of images from their MRI scan and will be given a DVD of all the images, including a video of their heart beating.

Human capital is the most important asset for businesses today and prevention really is better than cure: early diagnosis of disease and risk factors enables effective modification of lifestyle and much more effective, less expensive treatment.

Karren Brady, Managing Director of Birmingham City Football Club, was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm at the Preventicum clinic in January 2006. Fortunately, due to this early detection and diagnosis at Preventicum the aneurysm, which was potentially fatal, was successfully treated in time. Karren comments on her experience:

I booked myself in for a full-body MOT at Preventicum for my own peace of mind and didn’t expect anything significant to be detected, since I’ve always been very healthy and certainly didn’t have any symptoms. My check-up was far more thorough than I had anticipated and the doctors detected a brain aneurysm as a result of my MRI scan. This came as a complete shock to say the least. Luckily, thanks to Preventicum, it was detected early enough to be successfully treated and I was back at work less than three months after the surgery. I wholeheartedly recommend having this check-up, whether you have a specific concern or just want to find out how healthy you really are. Preventicum certainly saved my life.

A Preventicum check-up is the essential ingredient for a healthy, motivated workforce. Clients are given the best personalised care, checking-in to their own private room with television, telephone and internet access. All clients will enjoy a nutritious lunch before they leave the clinic and those opting for the Ultimate and Essential Plus check-up are entitled to a complimentary car service to and from Preventicum, within London.

This is more than just an ordinary check-up; at Preventicum clients get their results on the same day, with ;expert lifestyle evaluation, providing you with the reassurance that your employeesí health and wellbeing is well looked after.
