A Healthy Start to 2020!

08th, Sep 2022

2020 is officially here, and as we kick start a brand new year, there is no better time to reflect on the year gone by and choose our New Year’s Resolutions.

At Kingsbridge Healthcare Group, we know that aiming to improve your health is a resolution many of us make. However it can be one that isn’t always easy to sustain. We offer a range of medical services and treatments that can help give you the support, or push in the right direction, to make those changes for a healthier life for you and your family for life!

Health Checks and Services at Kingsbridge Healthcare Group

What better way to get a round-up assessment of your health than having a health check with us. Our health checks not only give you a great indication of how healthy you are now but also how you can improve your health for a healthier and happier future.

Healthy Heart Check

Cardiovascular disease is one of the main causes of death in the UK. Keeping your heart healthy should be on the top of your list, especially if you are over 40.

Our Heart Assessment will give you a complete overview of exactly how your heart’s health is faring. With our Consultant Cardiologists leading the examination you can rest assured that our assessment will give you peace of mind or help you make any changes to your lifestyle to get your heart ticking to a perfect beat.

Eye & Ear Check

Our eye and ear health are often something we take for granted however slight changes can have a big impact on our daily lives. At Kingsbridge Opticians & Hearing Care our Optometrists and Audiologists are professionally trained to diagnose and treat various eye and ear conditions early so you can take action and have a clearer future.

Eyesight tests should be part of our routines check-ups from childhood. Our eyesight can change so quickly without even knowing and a quick eye test can also detect more serious health issues such as diabetes and glaucoma.

Because hearing loss is age-related everyone over 50 years of age should have their hearing checked. As we get older, regular hearing tests should become an important part of our healthcare routine. By the time we are 70 nearly three quarters of us will have hearing loss.

Exclusively to Kingsbridge Hearing Care we are delighted to offer Phonak Lyric, the world’s only invisible hearing aid which you are able to avail of a 30 day free trial. Simply call into store or contact 028 9066 7030.

Weight Check and Weight Loss

Over Christmas it’s fair to assume most of us will gain a few extra pounds of weight from excessing in the many delights on offer.

Obesity is becoming one of the main health concerns in the UK and not only are many adults suffering from the effects caused by excess weight, but our children are now also carrying more excess weight than they ever have before.

At Kingsbridge Private Hospital we are very aware of this rising health concern which is why we have our very own dietitian who is available to provide dietary advice and custom diet plans to help you get back to a healthy weight.
