I would like to ask you all if you have any tips or websites etc for resources, free posters and any tips from having carried out the clinics what you feel worked or did not work. I have done them before but would like to reflect and fine tune and always good to hear what others found worked or didnt work. I am going to advertise I am coming and have a booking in sheet for 10 mins per person. I will have a colleague who will get them to complete a form identifying risks ie weight,smoker,medical history etc and she will do BP and then pass to me so we keep a flow going. So she tests and I review and advise . The we can swap. Due to cost unless they meet criteria of over 40 with signs of risk through the questionairre I am going to avoid cholestrol tests as much as possible. As we cannot starve them all what criterias for cholestrol would you all set? Ideally its overnight but not sure how doable that would be... Its only a guide but want to be as accurate as I can.... I have looked at a few web sites and found rsources for BP but not much free literature on cholestrol. So any help would be apprecaited. Thanks Dawn This wellbeing was decided in case your all wondering because we have fork lift truck drivers and a lot have high BP's hence the reason ... TRY AND CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOUR!!
