What is Preventative Healthcare?

All of the team at Maxwell Medical Group believe in preventative healthcare.  Preventative healthcare is important at all stages of life. We can help you to identify aspects of your life and health which may be risk factors for developing conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, strokes and many other conditions.  Once we identify these risk factors, we can work together with you to develop a plan to reduce and potentially reverse these risk factors.

There are lots of things we can do to improve our health such as being more active, stopping smoking, drinking less alcohol and eating more healthily.  We pride ourselves in helping our patients achieve these goals.  We believe that making healthy lifestyle choices is fundamental to good health.  We adopt these principles in our own lives and believe in leading by example when it comes to health. 

Screening programmes are another important part of preventative healthcare including the cervical smear test, breast and bowel screening. We are happy to offer advice about what these tests involve and how to take part and we advocate regular skin checks.  

We offer regular health assessments during which we check things like blood pressure, weight, waist circumference, cholesterol and glucose levels to identify areas for change and improvement.

We can all relate to those trips to the supermarket when we get home and realise that have forgotten half of the shopping list.
