Our Lifestyle Development team have been working tirelessly since 2001 to improve the lives
and the experiences of older people in East Ayrshire.
There are many activities that we are involved in to help improve the health and wellbeing of people in our communities. We are here to support you to make improvements in your lives and in your communities.
The Community Health Activity Team (CHAT) was previously known as Community Health Improvement Partnership (CHIP). The team work across six place based areas providing basic health checks, and offers information and advice on healthy living, mental health, alcohol and drug use.
Free health checks
Come along to have a friendly chat about healthier lifestyle choices. We offer checks for:
- blood pressure
- weight
- body mass index (BMI)
- body fat percentage
Blood Pressure
We check blood pressure to pick up on undiagnosed high blood pressure that can lead to a heart attack or stroke.
Weight
Maintaining a healthy weight will lower you risk of developing certain conditions and reduce pressure on joints and bones.
BMI and Body Fat %
We also check weight and body fat levels as being overweight and high body fat has been linked to many health conditions such as heart attack, diabetes, cancer, stroke and various organ diseases.
Corporate Health Checks
We offer more advanced health checks for businesses. This can be a great resource for employers who want to support their staff with their health and wellbeing.
This is includes the standard health checks but also:
- blood sugar
- blood cholesterol
- 'MyDiagnostick' which is a simple test that can pick up Atrial Fibrillation (AF)
Please contact CHAT if you have a business and would be interested in this.
