At Padiham Pharmacy, we aim to provide personalised care to all of our patients, aiding them to feel empowered to take an active approach in adopting a healthier lifestyle. The importance of maintaining our health and wellbeing in today’s society is imperative and is an investment for our future.
Our wellness assessment allows patients to gain a comprehensive insight and understanding of their current health status, which includes a variety of fundamental tests and measurements. These can identify potential health risks allowing for early intervention and minimising the risk for complications.
1. Height and Weight Measurement
2. Body Mass Index (BMI)
BMI is a screening tool that takes into account height and weight as a ratio to estimate the amount of body fat. High body fat can lead diabetes, heart disease and stroke; where as a low BMI can indicate malnutrition.
3. Blood Pressure Check
Blood pressure is a measure of the force of your blood when it pushes against the side of your blood vessels; if the pressure is too high, it can put an extra strain on your heart, which can lead to heart attacks, strokes and other health implications.
4. Cholesterol Levels
Testing for cholesterol is essential for those who want to monitor their heart and would like to prevent serious conditions like heart disease and stroke. High cholesterol often is asymptomatic (no symptoms) making regular checks vital.
5. HbA1c Diabetes Test
HbA1c testing is considered the gold standard for diabetes management, as it provides a reaction of average glucose levels over 2-3 months. Unlike daily glucose tests, it shows overall trends making it supreme for monitoring whether a treatment is effective and diagnosing diabetes.
