AIMS OF THE FREE WALK-IN HEALTH AWARENESS CLINIC:

 

What we provide

 

Health Awareness/Education by discussing with an individual any concerns

regarding medical conditions he/she might currently be suffering or might have

suffered in the past; Raise an awareness of common medical conditions which may

not have been detected thus far; Screen and detect any abnormalities within our

means; Offer the best CARE, ATTENTION and REASSURANCE to the patients in

regard to condition(s) for which a consultation has been sought by them; Alley

fears and provide further information or explanations as well as provide

assurances if required by them on a medical condition which one might be

suffering or might have suffered in the past.

What do not provide

§ laboratory investigation or

§ drug treatment for conditions or

It is most likely that the patients attending these clinics regularly attend

their own General Medical practitioners (GP) and/or are under the regular

supervision of a NHS Consultant. They may however still have unanswered

questions relating to medical condition(s) which they would like to discuss

with you in order to have a better understanding and alley fears or remove

misconceptions about such conditions.

 

Referrals to General Practitioners: All patients should be ‘referred’ where

necessary to their General Practitioners for further investigations, tests or

treatments.

 

Bone Marrow Donation We will be raising awareness for Bone Marrow Donation

collecting blood samples from Healthy Donors aged 18-40 weighing at least 7.7

stones for Anthony Nolan Trust.

 

Blood Donation The clinic is supported by National Blood Service who will be

displaying a stand. Volunteers will take potential donors to the National Blood

Service Static Clinic nearby.

 

In addition to Anthony Nolan Trust and National Blood Service supporting the

clinic, the clinic is supported by Luton Primary Care Trust who are sending

their representatives, Local hospital who are sending Nurses to check Blood

Sugar for Diabetes and Luton Council of Faiths.

 

All are welcome.
