Published in Institute News on 02 August 2011 by Vivienne Pearson
IBAS and PreventionXpress plan to offer basic health screening for visitors and staff at Austin Health. The first screening session was offered at the Austin campus in July. Anthony Carbines, State Government member for Ivanhoe, was one visitor who took advantage of the opportunity to check his risk levels for sleep disorders and lung disease as well as blood pressure, diabetes and other age and gender related conditions.
The screening takes around 10 minutes and is conducted by a combination of a nurse and a confidential computer portal. Each person receives their results in a simpe yet detailed report to assist them with following up results with their GP.
Anthony Carbines is pictured here with nurse Ann DiStefano who conducted the screening.
