Guernsey Chest and Heart LBG

Guernsey Chest and Heart LBG is a charitable body, primarily concerned with the provision of a free health screening service to the residents of the Bailiwick of Guernsey. The objectives of the company are "the prevention of circulatory disease, and appropriate data analysis to identify trends in public health".

Since the opening of the medical centre in November 1974, preventative work has been the main area of activity, primarily through the health screening programme. Screenings and blood pressure checks are carried out by fully qualified and experienced nurses.

To date, more than 56,000 screenings have been carried out involving over 25,000 residents. This screening is vital as disease of the heart and cardiovascular system accounts for 37% of all deaths in the Bailiwick.
