Steps to Better Health and Fitness | The Importance of Periodic Health Assessments 6 NSWPF Periodic Health Assessment What is it? The Steps to Better Health and Fitness initiative is a crucial component of the PULSE Program that allows all NSWPF employees to take control of their health and fitness through a periodic health assessment (PHA). The PHA is comprised of a health check (Your Health Check) and a Functional Movement Screen (FMS). The health check will be conducted by one of the nurses from the Health Performance Unit attached to Health, Safety and Wellbeing Command. The FMS will be conducted by one of your local Physical Training Instructors (PTIs). Please see pages 30-31 of this booklet for more information on the Steps to Better Health and Fitness initiative. How do I request and book in for a PHA? To arrange to have a nurse attend your PAC, PD or Command to conduct Periodic Health Assessments please use the Request Periodic Health Assessments form within BluePortal. This should be actioned by your Education Development Officer (EDO) or Region Training Coordinator (RTC). In BluePortal, either navigate to Request Services / Human Resources / Health & Safety / Request Periodic Health Assessments, or type a keyword into the ‘How can we help’ search box (e.g. Health, or Assessment, or Periodic). To book yourself in for a Periodic Health Assessment when a nurse visit has already been arranged, go to the Book Periodic Health Assessment form within BluePortal.
