Skin Cancer Screening Programs
Ford Health’s Skin Cancer Screening programs play a critical role in safeguarding the health and wellbeing of employees across Australia. With 2 in 3 Australians expected to face a skin cancer diagnosis by the age of 70, proactive workplace health programs are essential for early detection and prevention. Offering onsite skin checks is a practical way for employers to prioritise their team’s health and identify skin cancers in their treatable stages.
Our Skin Cancer Screening Program offers a comprehensive, top-to-toe examination for your team conducted by our highly trained doctors. Each team member will receive a personalised risk profile, along with a thorough physical examination to help detect skin cancers early. Our doctors will also provide a full outline from the examination, and a medical referral for any findings that require further investigation.
What is a Corporate Skin Check?
A workplace skin check program typically includes a thorough examination of the skin performed by trained health professionals. This involves a head-to-toe skin assessment, addressing suspicious lesions, benign lesions, and moles that might require further investigation. Employees also gain valuable insights into personal risk factors for skin cancer, such as family history, exposure to the sun, and other factors to support early detection.
Comprehensive Workplace Skin Checks For Your Employees
The corporate skin checks offered by Ford Health are designed to protect employees by promoting sun safety and prevention strategies. Through these comprehensive skin cancer screenings, employees are educated on how to conduct a self-check for suspicious moles and learn about the next steps if concerns arise. These proactive measures to address employees’ health are excellent in fostering a culture of positive wellbeing and positioning workplace health as a priority.
In addition to skin cancer detection, programs like these raise awareness in employees of the risk of skin damage from the harsh Australian sun. Ford Health ensures that employees receive ongoing support for their skin cancer prevention journey, from initial screening to treatment. Employers who implement these programs not only demonstrate care for their teams but also align with broader prevention and management strategies to enhance the health and wellbeing of Australians.
With Ford Health, you can expect a comprehensive assessment to identify skin cancer risk. This will include:
Physical Profile
- Top-to-toe skin examination by a Doctor
- Personal and family history questionnaire
- Examination report identifying any areas of concern
- Letter to the participant’s General Practitioner outlining the results of the screening
- If required, a specialist referral letter outlining the Doctor’s findings and suggested investigation
Ongoing Care
- Follow-up of conditions that require urgent treatment, immediate medical advice
- Communication of referral results to the participant
- Follow-up of overdue referrals to support and encourage participants to complete their referrals as recommended
Workplace Health Check: Comprehensive Health Assessments
Our Workplace Teams Health Program utilises a holistic approach to an individual’s medical, mental and physical health through workplace health checks. These assessments are crucial for monitoring and improving employee health, ensuring early detection of potential issues. By introducing a workplace health check, you can contribute to reducing absenteeism and improving employee health.
The fast-paced environment of workplaces today can contribute to a variety of health issues. Ford Health's tailored health assessments ensure personalised advice from our qualified professionals. Our services include programs that look at the many factors that impact the performance of working people, including their psychological and physical health, energy, stress, resilience skills, sleep, diet and exercise.
Workplace wellbeing programs play a significant role in enhancing overall employee wellbeing by promoting healthier behaviours and improving workplace productivity. Work health checks should be an essential practice for providing insights into the health status and risks of employees, contributing to overall workplace wellbeing. Our health professionals use their experience, specifically working with busy people, to assist with practical advice and resources to proactively manage their health and wellbeing. Identifying lifestyle risk factors is crucial for setting personal health goals and understanding overall workplace wellbeing.
We assess an individual’s cholesterol, blood glucose, blood pressure, BMI, and waist circumference, as well as monitor heart disease as part of our comprehensive health assessments.
On-site pathology collection can be arranged for the convenience of participating team members.
In a 30-minute consultation, a Ford Health Health Professional will take physical and biophysical measurements, review health and lifestyle risks, and then develop a personal action plan to build wellbeing and resilience.
Key areas include:
- Work Profile
- Lifestyle Profile
- Medical Profile
- Physical Profile
- Psychological Profile
Each participant receives a personalised report on the day of their assessment with test results, identified health risks and next steps, letter to their GP and any other relevant health information. These profiles are integral to developing a comprehensive wellbeing program that addresses the specific health needs of each employee.
Virtual Health Assessments
Ford Health’s Virtual Health option provides the perfect solution for all your team members, no matter where, when, or how they work, by incorporating employee health checks. Engaging with a qualified health professional is crucial for conducting these assessments accurately and providing personalised health advice. Our Health professionals come to them – virtually. This ensures that your employees get a personalised program and have real conversations with health professionals to answer their specific questions and receive tailored advice. These assessments can also inform future initiatives aimed at improving employee health and well-being.
Workplace Health Assessment – via phone/video consultation – includes the following components:
- Blood testing prior to the assessment measuring total cholesterol, HDL/LDL cholesterol, triglyceride and glucose levels
- A 30-minute phone or video consultation with a Ford Health Health Professional
- Measurement and review of key health indicators for working people – work, lifestyle, medical, physical and psychological health through workplace health checks
- Profiling of medical and family history to establish risk areas. Identifying potential health issues during these assessments is crucial for early intervention.
- Sensemaking of the findings with discussion of next steps and resources
A workplace wellbeing consultant plays a vital role in delivering these assessments and ensuring the effective implementation of wellbeing programs.
