Advantages of an OccCare workplace health check.
OccCare uses experienced local registered nurses who have a large network of other current local health providers and can refer promptly when the need arises. Health issues can be identified and managed efficiently to ensure that your employees remain in the best of health. Many of Auckland’s working population are not enrolled with a regular GP and miss the benefit of continuity of care– by contracting OccCare to do annual workplace health checks there is a continuity of care – employees can keep a track their weight, blood pressure, cholesterol etc. They can be reminded of the importance of looking after themselves and their families health.
