Nurse-led workplace health screening
Welcome to Praxis Health
When every person matters to the business, earlier visibility matters too.
Praxis Health combines confidential, nurse-led health screening with anonymised workforce insight, helping employers identify emerging health and performance risks before they become more disruptive or expensive.
Employees receive a private clinical review and clear personal guidance. Leadership receives a broader view of the patterns affecting energy, resilience, absence and performance, without any individual health information being shared.
What do we do?
Praxis Health delivers confidential health screening in the workplace.
We set up a private screening room on site, where each employee has a one-to-one consultation with a registered nurse, receives an explanation of their results and is given a personal health report with practical next steps.
Following the screening, HR and leadership receive a separate anonymised report showing broader patterns across the workforce. No individual health information is shared.
How can we help?
Most businesses know when a team is under pressure. What is much harder to establish is what is contributing to it.
It may be workload. It may be poor sleep, low energy, musculoskeletal discomfort, anxiety or an emerging physical health concern. Often several factors are involved.
Praxis combines clinical screening with structured questions about health, recovery and working life. This helps employees understand their own health while giving the organisation a more reliable view of the themes affecting the team as a whole.
The result is useful to the individual and useful to the business, without compromising confidentiality.
Built from experience on both sides.
Praxis was shaped by seeing the same blind spot from two different perspectives: as a registered nurse, and as a founder responsible for a growing team. By the time something presents as a health event, the underlying process has often been running for a long time. Praxis have the experience and know-how to identify such underlying issues long before they become a problem for the individual and the business as a whole.
Who can we help?
Praxis is particularly useful for businesses that want a clearer view of the health and performance pressures affecting their workforce. It is especially useful when leaders know something is changing across the team but lack the evidence to understand what is driving it.
That may include rising absence, reduced energy, difficulty sustaining pressure, concerns about retention or uncertainty about where wellbeing investment would have the greatest effect.
Praxis provides a structured starting point, helping organisations establish what is happening before deciding what support, intervention or further investment is genuinely needed.
For founders and leadership
A clearer understanding of the pressures affecting the people on whom the business relies.
The findings can help distinguish between isolated concerns and wider workforce patterns, before decisions are made about benefits, workload, management support or outside provision.
Why should you do it?
Absence is visible. The pressures affecting capacity, performance and retention are often harder to see.

A word from our founder
I qualified as a nurse in 1987 and later spent nearly two decades running a health and medical communications agency. The two sit closer together than people expect.
Clinical work shows you how health risks develop gradually, usually well before someone considers themselves unwell. Business ownership shows you what happens next: energy falls, concentration weakens, absence increases and the pressure spreads across a team.
In any business, key people carry a great deal of operational knowledge, client relationships and momentum. When one of them begins to lose capacity, the organisation feels it long before anyone understands why.
I built Praxis to close that gap.
