UWE Bristol is working with Caafi Health to understand how we can do health screening tests in the community and whether this health screening and education service helps people get healthier.
The Caafi Health clinical team consists of doctors, nurses and a clinical pharmacist and volunteers. They will use point of care testing equipment (similar to a Glucose Meter) to offer people free tests to check:
- Cholesterol and triglycerides levels
- Sugar levels (HBA1c)
- Kidney function
- Vitamin D levels
- Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) screening and other tests.
Knowing these levels will tell you about your health status and your risks of developing diabetes or heart disease. The clinical team will also advise you on what to do next and ways to stay healthy and/ or get better. All for FREE!
The screening clinics dates and times are shown below, and advertised on Caafi Health website:
- 2nd February 2024@ Barakah Mall, 48 Stapleton Road, BS5 0RA from 11:00 to 16:30
