PocDoc Collaborates with NHS West Yorkshire in a Community Health Initiative at Hamara Centre
LEEDS, England - Today, PocDoc is excited to announce its ongoing collaboration with NHS West Yorkshire as part of community initiatives to enhance health education and preventative healthcare services at the Hamara Centre.
A Community Committed to Health
Every Tuesday for the duration of the collaboration, between 12 pm and 1 pm, dedicated teams from PocDoc and NHS work together at the Hamara Centre to offer health education and services, empowering individuals to take proactive steps towards their health and well-being. The initiative highlights the PocDoc's community involvement and active participation in health preservation and disease prevention.
PocDoc Empowering Through Innovation
The initiative provides free cholesterol tests using PocDoc's revolutionary 5- lipid marker panel test, allowing individuals quick and reliable access to their lipid health information. This test gives individuals the necessary tools and knowledge to monitor and manage their health effectively.
Voices of the Community
The community response to this initiative has been overwhelmingly positive, with many participants expressing their appreciation and satisfaction with the services provided. "We are absolutely delighted by the feedback we've received from those who've attended so far,"- says Luke Dawson, the business partnership manager at PocDoc.
Words from participants at the Community Health Event:
“I think it’s a really good tool. It really helps save time for the service users from going to the GP.”
"I think it's fabulous because it gives you such instant results and a lot of people are really curious to find out about their cholesterol, and when they came here and they saw the test, they were curious and eager to learn more about their levels.”
“ It was good because I haven’t done my cholesterol for a while, so I needed a checkup and I’m happy.”
