Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of preventable ill health and premature mortality. Health inequalities among routine and manual workers can be influenced by a complex interplay of occupational hazards, health behaviours, and wider socioeconomic determinants. Health behaviours play a significant role, with routine and manual workers exhibiting higher rates of smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, and obesity compared to those in higher occupational classes. Building on the proven delivery model and trusted employer relationships, the SiSU Mobile Digital Health Checks Programme aimed to improve uptake of preventative health checks among working-age adults, particularly routine and manual workers, who face barriers in accessing health services. The pilot tested a workplace-based digital model to improve accessibility, engagement, and early identification of risk.
This evaluation was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of the pilot programme that launched in March 2025. The aim of the evaluation was to determine the extent to which the programme had achieved its intended aims and objectives alongside the short- and medium-term outcomes, while also identifying areas for service improvement and opportunities for future development.
