They will often require assistance in order to discharge those obligations. As the responsibilities of businesses has become more defined in law and stringent in delivery, the need for experienced medical advice has increased. At The Health Station we can provide occupational health services from doctors qualified and experienced in occupational medicine. There are four areas in which we can help you Statutory examinations Risk reduction HR support Health promotion Statutory examinations are those which are required to provide surveillance for employees whose work places them in an "at risk" category. For example, the Noise at Work regulations impose upon employers the obligation to measure ambient noise in the workplace, and provide "controls" for employees whose work places them in locations were ambient noise is above the action line. Other statutory examinations include surveillance of the skin (for employees whose work brings them into contact with skin toxic substances such as machine oil), and hand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) for employees whose work brings them into contact with vibrating tools. Risk reduction arises where an employer seeks to ensure that an employee is fit to undertake their work, or to keep them safe while doing so. For example, workers in North Sea oilrigs, underground workers in Local Authorities, or workers in health or social care whose work brings them into contact with hepatitis B virus. In all of these cases, an employer may wish to demonstrate that they have reduced the risk for their employees by making assessments of, respectively, overall fitness, respiratory fitness for using breathing apparatus, and the provision of hepatitis B vaccine. HR processes often require occupational health support. For example, a company's policies designed to address employees with a poor attendance record, or who are absent on long-term sickness may (indeed should) require medical evidence. Such employees can receive a medical examination, from which a report for the HR consultant contributes to a plan of management. This area would also include pre-employment assessment. Employers may need assistance in considering the Disability Discrimination Act, which places upon employers an obligation to identify employees who may be disabled (and the definition is very wide) and to make "reasonable adjustments" in the workplace to accommodate them. Health promotion in the workplace is becoming more common, though is still a minority activity. Making an assessment of the employee's general fitness, and offering intervention when risk factors are identified makes a positive contribution to the health in the workplace, to the satisfaction of employees, and to their productivity. Such services are usually nurse delivered. In addition, there may be specific issues which an employee are wishes to address, such as smoking cessation, or the management of occupational stress.

CAN YOU AFFORD NOT TO BE PROTECTED? Influenza can cause problems for individuals patients, but also for businesses, with staff shortages, key positions not covered and expensive bank staff. Influenza related illness accounts for the loss of more than 150 million working days per year. Epidemics of influenza typically occur during the winter months. Flu, is a viral infection caused by the influenza virus. It's passed on when people breathe in liquid droplets containing the virus that have been sneezed or coughed into the air, or when people touch objects contaminated with the virus. The symptoms, which include fever, headache, cough, sore throat and muscle aches, appear quickly. It affects patients of all ages. Most patients suffer a nasty illness, but recover completely. Possible complications include pneumonia, which often needs hospital treatment, especially in patients with underlying chest disease. Flu is most common between January and March. Anyone can get the flu and the more a person is in close contact with people who have the virus, the more likely they are to get it. Unfortunately, influenza infection produces little future protection, and so vaccination is the only effective prevention. There is a safe and effective vaccine against the flu. WHO scientists work hard to predict the virus types each year. Last year The Health Station gave over 4000 flu vaccinations to individuals, local businesses and teachers. The Health Station offer the Flu vaccinations, commencing the first week in October each year. Discounts are available for volume vaccinations. Nurses can come out to your premises, if appropriate, and vaccinate groups. Tamiflu Tamiflu (Oseltamivir) can be used to treat influenza. It belongs to the group of medicines called neuraminidase-blockers. Neuraminidase is a protein of the virus, which is important for the reproduction of the virus. Tamiflu blocks this enzyme and hence limits a further infection of the body. By doing so, it allows the immune system to more effectively attack the virus. This results in a shorter period of illness and milder symptoms. Influenza is highly contagious and can spread easily through a population. In the case of a mutated Avian Bird Flu virus, that can cross-contaminate humans, there is the risk of a pandemic outbreak of the illness. In this case the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends the use of Tamiflu as an anti-viral medication which will help alleviate symptoms until an effective vaccine is found. © The Health Station 2008 21 Brand Street, Hitchin, Herts SG5 1JE, UK | Tel 01462-459595 | Fax 01462-435373 e-mail: admin@thehealthstation.co.uk If you would like any further information, please contact us or submit an online Information Request Form.

It is a hugely important medical advance. It is the first vaccine able to protect against a major cause of cancer in women. It is normally given by one of our nurses, after assessment and consultation with you. You do not need to have a smear before you have the vaccine, but you may decide that it is an appropriate time for this. What is HPV? | What does Gardasil do? | Who should get vaccinated? | Who should not receive Gardasil? | Possible side effects? | How is Gardasil given? | Other important points | Is there any other way to prevent HPV? WHAT IS HPV? HPV is a common sexually-transmitted virus that is passed on via genital contact. There are more than 100 HPV types and they infect genital areas and can cause genital warts, pre-cancerous abnormalities of cells in the female genitals (cervix or vulva) and cervical cancer. Sometimes they cause no harm and any infection goes away on its own. However, sometimes the virus persists and causes cells to change - this can lead to cervical cancer, genital pre-cancerous lesions and genital warts. WHAT DOES GARDASIL DO? GARDASIL is a vaccine against the human papilloma virus (HPV). It works by provoking the body's immune response to this virus, without actually causing HPV infection or any of the diseases. When the body is exposed to foreign organisms, such as viruses and bacteria, the immune system produces antibodies against them. Antibodies help the body recognise and kill the foreign organisms. They then remain in the body to help protect the body against future infections with the same organism. GARDASIL contains inactivated extracts from four different types of the human papilloma virus (HPV): - types 6, 11, 16 and 18. These four types of HPV cause 70% of cervical cancers and 90% of genital warts. GARDASIL will not protect against diseases that are not caused by HPV (i.e. other cancers and other sexually transmitted diseases). GARDASIL may not protect against HPV types to which you have already been exposed. Unfortunately there is currently no test available to check which type you may or may not have. WHO SHOULD GET VACCINATED? GARDASIL has been shown in clinical trials to prevent the above diseases in adult women aged 16 to 26 years. The vaccine has also been shown to produce antibodies against HPV in children and adolescents aged 9 to 15 years. It is not known if these antibodies will prevent HPV disease in adult males. It is licensed for girls and women from 9 to 26 years of age. The vaccine is safe and effective in this age group. Ideally, females should get the vaccine before they become sexually active, i.e. before they can be exposed to HPV. WHO SHOULD NOT RECEIVE GARDASIL? Sudden feverish illness. (The vaccine should be postponed until after recovery.) People allergic to vaccine ingredients Pregnant women (Although it can be given to women who are breastfeeding. It has not been shown to have any effect on a nursing infant, or to be any less effective in women who are breastfeeding People with an underactive immune system (for instance, those with HIV) People taking certain medicines (such as chemotherapy or high dose steroids) This vaccine is not recommended for children under nine years of age, as its safety and effectiveness have not been studied in this age group Males (as it not yet licensed for this use) Caution with: People at risk of bleeding after an injection into a muscle, for example due to blood clotting disorders such as haemophilia or a reduced platelet count in the blood (thrombocytopenia). POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS This vaccine contains no live virus and so cannot cause infection with HPV or any of the diseases HPV can cause. It is usually well tolerated. The most likely side effects include - pain, itching, swelling at the injection site, fever, nausea, and dizziness. HOW IS GARDASIL GIVEN? The vaccine is given by injection into the muscle of the upper arm or upper thigh. Three doses are needed. Ideally, the first two doses are given two months apart, and the third dose four months after the second dose. The first two doses are given at least one month apart with the third dose at least three months after the second dose. All three doses should be given within a one-year period. OTHER IMPORTANT POINTS The length of vaccine protection is not known yet. To date, research shows that it protects for at least 5 years. It is possible that a booster may be needed at some point in the future, to maintain protection. Long-term follow-up studies into this are ongoing. Girls and women who have been vaccinated will still need regular cervical cancer screening - this is because the vaccine does not protect against all types of HPV. It also won't protect you from any cancerous changes that may be caused by an HPV infection you may already have. This vaccine can be safely given at the same time as the hepatitis B vaccine. If given at the same time, these vaccines should be given into different limbs. This vaccine can be safely given to women taking oral contraceptives. You should let your doctor know if you are taking any medicines, or have recently had any other vaccines, or have recently been given immunoglobulin or other blood products, before you are given this vaccine. IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO PREVENT HPV? The only sure way to prevent HPV is to abstain from sexual activity. Sexually active adults can reduce their risk by limiting their number of sex partners and using condoms. Even people with only one partner can get HPV if their partner has been exposed to a previous partner with HPV. This is why Gardasil represents such an important medical advance. © The Health Station 2008 21 Brand Street, Hitchin, Herts SG5 1JE, UK | Tel 01462-459595 | Fax 01462-435373 e-mail: admin@thehealthstation.co.uk If you would like any further information, please contact us or submit an online Information Request Form.

The earlier disease is diagnosed, or the sooner we are warned that we are at risk from a condition the better the chances are of a good outcome. Health screening therefore is so important. An extensive check-up with the right series of tests carried out by trained professionals can provide early warning signs of potential trouble ahead, or reassurance and peace of mind knowing you are in good shape. Many conditions, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and many cancers can be effectively treated once detected. Coronary Heart disease kills 1 in 4 men & 1 in 5 women in the UK.

Cells on the outer surface can sometimes develop abnormalities. Although these abnormal cells will often return to normal without any treatment, sometimes they can persist and if left un-treated they can develop into cancer. Abnormalities in the cervix and early cervical cancer cause no symptoms but they can be detected by screening. The smear test is used to take a sample of cells from the cervix for analysis. Most women consider this procedure to be only mildly uncomfortable. A smear test is best taken mid-cycle. The smear test will detect abnormal cells and if they persist then they can be easily treated in a hospital out-patient department. Treatment will prevent cancer from occurring. Cervical cancer is preventable! Risk factors Significant risk factors are multiple sexual partners and infection with the Human Papilloma virus (HPV or wart virus). Facts Cancer of the cervix is one of the most common female cancers worldwide and the UK has the second highest recorded incidence in the European Community and there were 2,740 new cases of invasive cervical cancer in England & Wales in 1997(ONS 1998). “Just under 19,000 women in England and Wales were found to have the most important type of pre-cancer, usually described as CIN 3. This can only be detected by screening and is treated to prevent invasive cancer developing.”(NHS 2001) Cervical screening prevents between 1,100 and 3,900 cases of cervical cancer each year. (Sasieni et al 1996). Screening All women between the ages of 25 and 64 are eligible for a free cervical screening test every three to five years. In the light of evidence published in 2003 the NHS Cervical Screening Programme now offers screening at different intervals depending on age. This means that women are provided with a more targeted and effective screening programme. The new intervals are: Ages 25 to 49 - 3 yearly; Ages 50 to 65 - 5 yearly; Age 65+ screen those who have not been screened since age 50 or have had recent abnormal tests. If you are between the ages of 25-64 and have not received an invitation for your 3-5 yearly, free NHS cervical smear test then contact your surgery. Alternatively private cervical smear tests can be arranged here at The Health Station. Reference http://www.cancerscreening.nhs.uk/cervical/index.html The ThinPrep® Smear Test New Technology that offers you a better test. The first real improvement to the Pap Smear Test since it was introduced. Cervical smears at The Health Station are now all ThinPrep© (Liquid Based Cytology - LBC) thus adhering to current recommended best practice. What is LBC? Liquid based cytology (LBC) is a new way of preparing cervical samples for examination in the laboratory. The sample is collected in a similar way to the conventional smear, using a special device which brushes cells from the neck of the womb. Rather than smearing the sample onto a microscope slide as happens with the conventional smear, the head of the brush, where the cells are lodged, is broken off into a small glass vial containing preservative fluid, or rinsed directly into the preservative fluid. The sample is sent to the laboratory where it is spun and treated to remove obscuring material, for example mucus or pus, and a random sample of the remaining cells is taken. A thin layer of the cells is deposited onto a slide. The slide is examined in the usual way under a microscope by a cytologist. How will women benefit from the introduction of LBC? The reduction in inadequate rates from using LBC will be of considerable benefit to women in terms of reducing anxiety, uncertainty and the need for repeat smears. Inadequate smears are those where a confident result cannot be issued. This happens, for example, where blood or other matter in the sample makes it impossible to see the cells on the slide properly. In these cases, women are invited back for a second test. With LBC smears, the number of 'inadequate' test results will fall and therefore so will the number of women who need a second test. A faster turnaround time in the laboratory also means that women will get their results more quickly.

It is a common bone disease caused by insufficient bone tissue (low bone mass). Gaps appear in the bone structure and bones consequently become thinner and weaker. This can lead to brittleness which can increase the risk of fractures. What causes Osteoporosis? Bone is a living tissue constantly being renewed throughout your life by breaking down old bone and forming new. These two actions are controlled by certain hormones and vitamin D. Osteoporosis occurs when bone is broken down faster than it can be built resulting in a loss of bone. Factors which may contribute to Osteoporosis Low Hormone levels Poor diet Low Calcium intake Inadequate exposure to sunlight Lack of exercise Smoking Family History Long term use of corticosteroids Risks associated with Osteoporosis Can be responsible for fractures. What are the signs of Osteoporosis It is difficult to know if you have the disease in the early stages as it can be painless for some time. Severe Osteoporosis can cause loss of height. Once it has been diagnosed it is important to seek therapy and stay on the therapy. Can Osteoporosis be treated? Drugs to improve bone density are available which have shown to reduce the risk of fractures 60-70%. An Adequate diet in vitamin D and calcium is also recommended.

With a little careful forward planning you can be properly prepared, worry-free, and ready to enjoy your time away! Here are a few essential items for your pre-travel checklist: Travel Health Insurance Remember to obtain a good travel health insurance policy that will pay for the cost of any medical treatment you might need abroad. If travelling within Europe get an E111 from your post office, remembering to get it stamped and signed - this will allow you to obtain free emergency treatment within the agreed countries. BUT please note, this will not cover the costs of emergency repatriation and on-going treatment in your chosen destination. Good Sun Sense If you are travelling to a sunny destination remember the importance of good protection from the sun. A good sun cream is essential and should be applied every few hours and after swimming. An egg-cup amount is usually enough to cover the whole body. Try to stay out of the sun between 11:00 and 15:00 o'clock, when the sun is hottest. Any changes to skin moles should be reported to your doctor on return. Malaria and Bite Prevention If you are travelling to a malarial destination, see our travel nurse in plenty of time to discuss malaria prevention. Bite protection is always recommended; some destinations might also recommend anti-malarial medication along with bite prevention. Not getting bitten by mosquitoes is the best way to prevent malaria and in certain locations it is essential to use repellents and/or nets. Vaccination Advice Whatever your travel destination, make sure that all ‘routine vaccinations’, such as tetanus and polio, are up to date before you leave. Hepatitis A and Typhoid vaccinations will also be advised for travel to most countries. If you need further vaccinations for your trip, or if you are uncertain about the requirements, see our doctor or travel nurse as soon as possible. Preventing Traveller's Diarrhoea (by watching what you eat and drink) At some destinations it is important to be careful with food and water. As a general rule, avoid foods that are not cooked, boiled or peeled. Also avoid buffet food that has been sitting out for hours. Drink only bottled drinks or boiled water. Travelling with Existing Medical Conditions If you have an existing medical condition or need medication, obtain adequate supplies for your trip. Take enough medication for the entire trip ... and a little bit more. If you need to carry needles or other drugs that could cause a problem at customs, get your doctor to write a letter explaining their use. Always carry medication in your hand luggage when travelling (in case your bags get lost) and keep a copy of your repeat prescription in case you need more medication while you are away. Sexual Health Sexual health is important when travelling. If you anticipate casual sex while you are away; be prepared, taking a supply of condoms from a recognised brand. Your doctor or local GUM clinic should immediately investigate any unusual itching, rash or discharge on return. Last Thoughts Finally, remember that safety regulations abroad might not always be to the same standards as they are at home. It may be appropriate to take a sterile Medical Pack. Always check the fire exits and balconies at your chosen destination, and make sure to check rental cars and sports equipment before using them. It is important to remain vigilant and not put you or your family and friends in a position that could compromise safety. © The Health Station 2008 21 Brand Street, Hitchin, Herts SG5 1JE, UK | Tel 01462-459595 | Fax 01462-435373 e-mail: admin@thehealthstation.co.uk If you would like any further information, please contact us or submit an online Information Request Form.

While there are four species of malaria, Plasmodium falciparum is by far the most lethal type, responsible for the majority of malaria deaths. Anyone travelling to a country where malaria is present may potentially contract the disease. Malaria is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. It only takes one bite from an infected mosquito to catch malaria. Prevention Avoiding mosquito bites Use insect repellents containing DEET on skin and clothing. Use screened accommodation and keep windows and doors closed. Use a mosquito net, preferably impregnated with insecticide. Wear long sleeves and trousers between dusk and dawn. It may help to wear wrist and ankle protectors soaked in DEET. Use a vaporising mat or coil to minimise mosquitoes in living accommodation or stay in air-conditioned accommodation. The Health Station stocks a wide range of Insect Nets and Mosquito Repellents - Travel Goods Anti - malarial Drugs Anti - malaria drugs fit into five main regimes. Medication required will vary according to destination. Up to date malaria advice can be obtained at The Health Station and/or the Malaria Reference Laboratory who can be contacted by telephoning: 0891 600350. Anti-malarials are not available on NHS prescription; some medications are available without a prescription, but Mefloquine, Malarone and Doxycycline require private prescriptions. The Health Station offers anti-malarial drugs. In summary, the five main regimes of anti-malarial drugs are as follows (adult doses). However, you should always obtain individually tailored advice: Chloroquine 300mg weekly. Start 1-2 wks before travel until 4 wks after leaving the area. Chloroquine 300mg weekly AND Proguanil 200mg daily. Start 1-2 wks before travel until 4 wks after leaving the area. Mefloquine 250mg weekly. Start 2-3 wks before travel until 4 wks after leaving the area. Malarone. One tablet daily 24-48 hrs prior to travel until 7 days after leaving the area. Doxycycline 100mg daily. Start 2 days prior to travel until 4 weeks after leaving the area. Generally, anti-malarial tablets are well tolerated. However, they can cause stomach upsets, visual disturbances and headaches. These side-effects can be reduced if medication is taken after food and with plenty of water. It is also very important that you read and follow the instructions included with the medication you have purchased. If you suffer from any liver, heart or kidney problem, psoriasis, epilepsy or previous depression, or are likely to be pregnant or breast feeding then please ask for advice from a doctor prior to taking any anti-malaria tablets. Serious reactions are rare but these may include: severe anxiety, depression, fits, hallucinations and palpitations. Stop medication but seek professional advice immediately to obtain an alternative. Recognising malaria illness Flu type symptoms, fever, diarrhoea and joint pains after the 1st week in a malarious region and for up to a year after your return home may be malaria. If you become unwell, you should seek medical attention promptly and you may need a blood test. Some Statistics about Malaria Globally, there are around 300 - 500 million cases of malaria per year, causing over 1 million deaths. Malaria is a public health problem in more than 90 countries, which are inhabited by 40% of the world's population. Malaria kills one child every 30 seconds and 3,000 children under five years old every day - this far exceeds the mortality rate from AIDS. Approximately 30,000 European and North American travellers contract malaria annually. Every year around 2,000 cases of malaria occur in the UK in travellers returning from countries where there is a risk of contracting malaria. In the UK, visits abroad have increased by over a quarter since 1995. Last year over 5 million trips from the UK were made to countries where travellers were at risk of contracting malaria. © The Health Station 2008 21 Brand Street, Hitchin, Herts SG5 1JE, UK | Tel 01462-459595 | Fax 01462-435373 e-mail: admin@thehealthstation.co.uk If you would like any further information, please contact us or submit an online Information Request Form.

A Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a clotting of the blood in the deep vein of the lower leg. If a clot develops in the veins, it usually makes its presence known by a pain in the affected calf. Medical attention should be sought immediately if this occurs, especially after a long flight. In some cases this can become fatal if the clot breaks off and makes its way to the lungs where it can then affect the lung's ability to take in oxygen. It is hard to establish just how many people are affected by DVT after a long flight as no official records are kept. However, it is important to be aware that it is a potential risk to any traveller due to the facts we already know. Those in a high risk category should see their doctor before they travel and discuss prevention - smokers, pregnant women, elderly travellers, those who are overweight, women taking oral contraceptives, individuals who have undergone recent surgery, as well as those with an existing medical condition. Some people in the "at risk" category mentioned above should discuss with their health professional the possibility of taking a small dose of aspirin before they fly. These days, the personal entertainment available on many airplanes encourages us to stay rooted to our seats. However, try to exercise at least every half an hour on long flights to exercise the muscles pumping blood back to the heart. This might mean rotating your ankles, or getting up for a quick walk up and down the aisles. Even though DVT is often referred to as "Economy Class Syndrome", passengers in first and business class are equally at risk. The risk also applies to other forms of travel, such as coach or bus travel where you stay seated for hours at the time. Travel Socks are an effective way of assisting your body's natural mechanism of returning blood to the heart. They work by applying a gentle graduated pressure on your ankle and calf. Loose clothing is essential on a long flight. Because of the change in atmospheric pressure in a plane, parts of your body can expand due to increased gas! Allow room for expansion with loose fitting clothing. It is a well-documented fact that too much alcohol, tea and coffee on flights causes dehydration. Also bear in mind that air in a plane is very dry and the temperature warmer that we might normally have it at home. It is therefore very important to remain hydrated during a long flight by drinking plenty of water and fruit juices. Do not cross your legs, it restricts the blood flow! Remove your shoes, relax and enjoy your flight!
