BlueSkies passions
BlueSkies work is currently focussed on several key areas that mirror the aims of the Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives strategy.
Health in the workplace Physical activity Overwight & obesity
Health in the workplace
We support and promote health in the workplace through our Workplace Well-Being services - BlueSkies is the 'one-stop shop' for workplace well-being.
Our services include comprehensive and cost-effective health screening packages designed to screen for the major, asymptomatic risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Assessments can include cholesterol, diabetes risk & blood sugar, blood pressure, body mass index, body fat, visceral fat, body water, weight and waist measurement. All health screens attendees are provided with full written reports and web-based remedial advice where necessary.
BlueSkies also provide education services including healthy lifestyle workshops, desk-based massage and stress management services to workplaces. We work with our corporate clients to deliver the best value service for the budget they have available.
BlueSkies DO NOT believe in 'one-off' events and we support all of our on-site work with free advice and intervention strategies through our website.

Building physical activity into daily life
BlueSkies recognises that time is the biggest constraint to activity in modern lifestyles. Therefore, we work with corporate clients and individuals to help make participation in physical activity as easy as possible.
We help people design personalised activity plans that fit into their lifestyles. BlueSkies believe that physical activity goals can only be achieved if they complement and fit in with a person's current commitments. Realistic, achievable, maintainable programmes of physical activity work, so these are the only programmes that we develop.
We also work with businesses and organisations to aid them in making physical activity as available as possible to their employees. Our web-based physical activity services allow us to cost-effectively reach a large number of people and are particularly suited to corporate environments.
Effectively treat and support the overweight and obese
At the Health of the Nation 08 conference, BlueSkies will be introducing our new online weight management programme. Our programme is a unique, innovative system that helps individuals to meet their weight loss goals effectively and safely.
We believe that the key to successful weight management lies not only in dietary adjustments but also in the incoporation of physical activity into daily life and in education. Our programme helps participants to adapt their diets and lifestyle whilst educating them about healthy eating and physical activity. We know that this combination gives people the highest chance of success.
BlueSkies weight management programme does not require any commitment to attend meetings and it can be delivered entirely remotely using e-mail and internet technology. However, participants are never alone as they can access the BlueSkies members forum to discuss their programme with our experts and other participants. Another unique aspect of this programme is that it can be completed at the individual's chosen pace.
Our programme works equally effectively with individuals, small groups and large corporate clients. In corporate settings, there is the option of using additional methods such as tele-conferencing seminars to help deliver the programme.

Promote healthy food
Nutrition is a passion at BlueSkies and we believe that eating healthily is easy if you know how! We regularly undertake educational work with individuals, groups and corporate clients to show how healthy food choices don't have to mean boring food choices.
BlueSkies offer a wide range of nutritional services from dietary analysis to healthy eating plans to educational work. However, all of our advice is based upon sound scientific evidence, there are no fad-diets or drastic eating plans here.
All of BlueSkies services incorporate an element of nutritional advice whether it's dietary adaptations to help lower cholesterol or lose weight or just feel better - we can offer a safe, effective service.
For more information on how BlueSkies promote healthy food choices, please come and visit us at the Health of the Nation 08 conference or e-mail us.
Promote child health
BlueSkies firmly believe that we shape our future from a very young age. Skewed perceptions of physical activity and poor dietary habits last a lifetime. This is why we are keen to work with families, schools and organisations who represent young people.
All of BlueSkies services can be adapted for use with children and young people. In fact, we feel that our e-mail and internet based services will work particularly well with this audience.
For more information on the services that BlueSkies can offer to children and young people, please come and visit us at the Health of the Nation 08 conference or e-mail us.
