Our NHS Workplace Health Checks Service pilot really resonated with staff across Haringey.

The pilot, which ran from October 2024 to June 2025, provided screening to 2,139 employees and volunteers across the borough.

The service offered a convenient way for people to get checked whose work timetable may make it difficult for them to attend a GP appointment.

We screened for a variety of long term conditions, and performed health checks on site at businesses and organisations, both public and private.

The philosophy was to bring the checks straight to the people, and it delivered.

• The Team at BOWL Kitchen in Wood Green said: ‘’We were proud to participate with the NHS Workplace Health Check programme for the wellbeing of our staff. Thank you!

• The Wood Green Mall Management Team said: ‘’It’s important that we all take control of our health, especially in busy customer-facing roles like we have within The Mall and getting a check like this was a good step towards understanding and supporting our health’'

Our Workplace Health Checks team visited the TFL Northumberland Park Depot to deliver health checks to their crew.

We've been delivering these life saving checks directly to workplaces across Haringey as part of a national, government backed pilot scheme.

Avel, one of the TFL workers we saw had this to say:

''The NHS Health check was easy to book, quick, and I received results during the session. It was a convenient way to check my health.''

Our award-winning GP@The Grove service is expanding into HAGA’s alcohol recovery service from May 2025.

This means more patients receiving substance misuse help will now access direct support from a GP in a setting they know and trust.

For the past two years, we’ve worked closely with The Grove to deliver accessible, compassionate healthcare to those in recovery.

Expanding into HAGA is the next step in strengthening this patient-first approach.

By embedding GPs into recovery settings, we’re supporting patients with complex needs to engage in routine care - and giving professionals the tools to make a real impact.

Learn more: https://www.haringeygpfederation.co.uk/news/gp-at-the-grove-expands

Haringey patients living with drug and/or alcohol addiction can access this service, as well as other support at The Grove.

Haringey employers can still offer NHS Health Checks to their employees in the workplace!

Workplaces in the borough have until the end of May 2025 to make the most of this great opportunity to get their staff checked on site by an NHS clinician.

It’s part of a government-funded national pilot which is bringing together local authorities with employers to deliver NHS Health Checks into workplaces across the country.

These checks are estimated to prevent around 300 premature deaths a year by helping to diagnose a range of health conditions.

We’ve already worked with 30+ organisations across Haringey to help deliver these health checks to more than 1,500 people.
