​25 July – Staff and Student Wellness Experience

A Wellness Experience for staff and students will be available from 11:00am – 14:00pm. An interactive screening where key body metrics and blood tests can be performed. Wellness screenings are important because you will find out about your current health and lifestyle risks and receive advice on what to do about identified risks. A full screening takes between 35 to 40 minutes to complete. You will receive a comprehensive report on your health and wellness after the screening.

A professional Wellness Specialist will perform the following screening assessments:

• Glucose, cholesterol and blood pressure tests
• A postural assessment
• Weight, height and body mass index (BMI) measurements
• An HIV test

If you choose to have an HIV test done, the Wellness Specialist will provide counselling before and after you take the test. Both Wellness screening and HIV test results are kept completely confidential.

In an effort to help us to ensure a pleasant experience kindly indicate your interest by clicking here or book your seat now for the Discovery Wellness Experience.
