The RCSI Hospital Group is pleased to announce the introduction of a new Confidential Staff Health Check service, now being rolled out across all hospitals within the group.

This service is designed to support the identification of early signs of health issues among healthcare workers.

The Confidential Staff Health Check service covers a range of important areas including:

• medical history
• family history of disease
• and lifestyle factors such as diet, weight, physical activity, cholesterol, blood sugar levels, alcohol use, and smoking habits.

This comprehensive health check will provide staff members with valuable information about their overall health and well-being and will help to identify any potential risk factors for future health issues.

In addition to providing staff with important health information, the service will also signpost them to services they may require in the community. If a GP visit is warranted, it will be the responsibility of the individual staff member to arrange, as indicated on the consent form for the service.

The Confidential Staff Health Check service will operate from a dedicated space within the hospital, demonstrating management’s commitment to valuing and protecting the health and well-being of all healthcare workers. By offering this service, the RCSI Hospital Group aims to support the mental and physical well-being of its staff.

Working in healthcare is a rewarding but challenging career and it is essential that healthcare workers prioritise their own health and well-being. The RCSI Hospital Group is proud to offer this important resource to its staff and looks forward to supporting the health and well-being of all healthcare workers within the group.
