It’s time to put yourself first: Book a Women’s Health Assessment

There’s no denying it, modern women are busy! Meeting work deadlines, running households, caring for children and ageing parents… it’s no wonder looking after our own health can slip down the list of priorities when there are so many other responsibilities on our plate.

Here at YourGP, we completely understand (our team are navigating the same juggle!) That’s why we’ve made it easier than ever for women to take control of their health by offering a Women’s Health Assessment. And a recent survey has highlighted why it’s more important than ever…

Eye-opening survey results

A recent report offered a snapshot into how many women are struggling to prioritise their health. According to a survey reported in Forbes:

• 70% of millennial women struggle to put their health first, with nearly half routinely skipping preventative-care appointments.
• 58% of women often prioritise the health of their families over their own.
• 63% of women have trouble prioritising their health in general.
• Nearly 50% of women have skipped a recommended preventative-care appointment in the last year.

Why it’s time to change

Maintaining good health needs to be a top priority for everyone. Because the daily juggling act of responsibilities becomes even harder when your health is not in a good place.

Booking a Women’s Health Assessment at YourGP is a great place to start if you’re keen to prioritise your health. This comprehensive package of tests focuses on the aspects of health, fitness and lifestyle that most frequently give cause for concern. It has been created to provide a clear overview of your health and highlight problems even before they develop. Here’s what’s included:
