Rhetorical question really! Everyone is interested their own health aren’t they? So what are you doing to look after yourself? Importantly, do you know how to look after yourself?

You may have had an assessment or health evaluation a few years ago… and since then your car has probably been in for a tune and service regularly – probably every year! You want your car to look good, run efficiently and reliably and hopefully hold a good resale value. Now think about the machinery that carries your brains around. No trade-ins on that machine! Do you look after it? It also needs regular tuning, servicing, preventive maintenance and, in particular, exceptionally good quality fuel!

Thoroughbred race horses get the best care so that they will perform well and win races. Is your metabolism in winning condition? Do you think about the human animal that you rely to do all the things you need to do, want to do and like to do? Do you feel good! What are you doing to make sure that you always feel good and are always in tip top condition? Most illnesses and diseases that affect western society are related to poor nutrition and poor lifestyle and are therefore preventable.

It’s like superannuation. Everyone invests in superannuation because we know that the funds invested regularly from an early age will provide wealth when we need it in the future. That’s WEALTH management. Consider HEALTH management in exactly the same way. Invest in your health from an early age so that you can reap the benefits as you get older.

It’s the same principle as wealth management except that the investment units are slightly different. Not dollars $$$$ but investment in being SLIM & FIT, ensuring that you eat FANTASTIC FOOD and that you are RELAXED & HAPPY.

The Bourke Street Clinic has a fundamental philosophy of preventive medicine. Our aim is to provide general practice services for health management rather than disease management. We deliver services of the highest standard and we offer a range of services to meet the needs of all.

Our focus is on personalised service and traditional values which ensures a professional approach to health care. For a  comprehensive full body assessment you might like to experience the 2 hour top to toe evaluation offered by our Executive Health Management team here at our premises in Bourke Street. This service is designed specifically with prevention in mind and provides an exhaustive questionnaire and screening process including full cardiovascular analysis, treadmill fitness testing, life stress analysis, nutritional assessment and guidance and full blood screening. Gender specific tests like prostate screening, Pap smear and breast examination are included if appropriate. The focus is on whole-person care and education to facilitate a preventative approach to lifestyle management.

From the company perspective we know, and you know that there is a cost associated absenteeism and poor performance due to sub-optimal health and poor individual productivity.

We have the expertise to manage these issues and improve personal and corporate productivity. If you are involved in the running of a company we can provide this same assessment to provide you and your employees with an opportunity for a comprehensive health assessment focusing not only physical health but on mental, emotional and social issues to facilitate positive behavioral change.

We use a sophisticated on-line questionnaire and reminder system to streamline the whole appointment and evaluation and follow-up process. The appointment is for 1 ½ to 2 hours and more than one hour is spent with one of our experienced doctors, a rare opportunity in our modern health system.

You are provided with immediate feed-back on blood tests taken on the day of assessment and these results provide valuable feedback and enormous impact to the health assessment. You will have on-line access to your own comprehensive health report and to further educational modules on your own secure web portal.

This is your opportunity to start making some gradual changes that will create a better outcome for you in the future. It’s not only an enjoyable and educational experience it’s a significant investment in your future health!
