Delivered by Smile Together in partnership with The Fishermen’s Mission, Seafarers Hospital Society and Healthy Cornwall, funded by Seafarers UK as part of the national SeaFit Programme

 

We’re teaming up to offer fishermen and their dependent family members:

• A free check-up

• Immediate dental treatment

• Oral cancer screening

• Subsidised further treatment as recommended by our dentist on the day

 

In some locations there will also be free NHS Health Checks available from Healthy Cornwall measuring a person’s height, weight, body mass index, blood pressure and cholesterol as well as looking at various lifestyle behaviours such as healthy eating, physical activity, smoking and alcohol consumption. All these factors are used to calculate the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease and dementia
