The blood sample

For the measurement of blood parameters, only a so-called capillary test is taken from a tiny prick in the finger and the results are obtained immediately.

Duration

The Health checks last 60 minutes.

Checking with your own GP

If your values are measured to high or low in relation to the official guidelines, you will be referred to your own GP. Your GP will then perform additional tests and treatment if needed. Some employees will find that the GP`s test result will vary from those that have been tested during the health profile. This can be caused due to different circumstances in the health test itself as well as differences in equipment.

Equipment

Measuring equipment for all tests are clinically approved medical test equipment, and the most accurate on the market.
