Health Checks

Staff Wellbeing has partnered with Healthy You Lifestyle Services to offer free NHS Health Checks for eligible staff aged 40–74. These checks are designed to identify early signs of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and dementia. 

Even if you feel well, your risk of developing these conditions increases with age. A Health Check can help detect issues early and support you in reducing future risks.   

For full details please visit the UoC_Staff Wellbeing sharepoint site.

How support services contribute to Wellbeing 

The University recognises that at times individual members of staff might experience difficulties in their personal lives or in their employment circumstances which can affect their wellbeing.

If you are having difficulties, you may find it helpful to speak to your line manager or departmental administrator. However there are also several other sources of advice and support available to you within the University.  Internal and external sources of support can be found here  

LinkedIn Learning at Cambridge Hub

LinkedIn Learning is an online learning resource available for the staff and students of the University of Cambridge and its colleges.
