The checks delivered through this pilot will spot the early signs of heart disease and provide people with the information they need to reduce their risk of having a heart attack, stroke or developing diabetes.
The pilot will gather evidence on the feasibility and impact of workplace cardiovascular disease checks. It will encourage employers to support people to stay well in work, by gathering and sharing learning on delivering health checks in the workplace.
A total fund of £6.67 million is available for this grant scheme and local authorities can bid for grants ranging from £15,000 to £200,000.
