Who We Are
BloodWorks Health and Wellbeing Ltd is an independent, not-for-profit, health and wellbeing provider specialising in preventative healthcare, health screening, health optimisation and harm reduction.
With experience delivering specialist services and contributing to published academic research since 2008, we combine evidence and real-world experience to help people understand, manage and improve their health and wellbeing.
We believe that health, fitness and wellbeing interventions should be accessible, informed, and focused on your needs – rather than being restrained by the limitations of traditional healthcare systems.
Our Mission
To improve health and wellbeing through evidence-based, community-based interventions designed to support you to make your own informed decisions to reduce avoidable risks and achieve better long-term health outcomes.
Our Vision
To deliver to the community, in the community, wherever we can support.
To prioritise those experiencing greater health inequalities and those whose needs are not adequately met by existing services.
To develop and deliver services without compromising our values, ensuring that the needs, choices and wellbeing of our staff and the people we support are central to everything we do.
Our Values
Evidence
Guided by research, clinical recommendations and ongoing evaluation; our governance and delivery is underpinned by evidence ensuring our decisions are defensible, credible, responsible and focused on improving outcomes.
For nearly 20 years we have contributed to research and subsequent national and international published articles alongside institutions and professionals from around the globe and we retain our commitment to continue to do so.
Experience
Our services are delivered by colleagues with professional, practical and lived experience; recognising that meaningful interventions require an understanding of people, their circumstances and the communities we serve.
Knowledge
Everyone has the right to make their own decision and the better-informed people are, the better equipped they are to make informed decisions. We try to make complex information understandable, helping people recognise risks, explore options and take control of their health.
Strength
Strength in knowledge, strength in body, strength in wellbeing.
We support individuals to build confidence, keep safe and well, make positive changes and achieve better long-term wellbeing through our values.
