Health check-ups for the unemployed are a statutory service implemented by the East Uusimaa wellbeing services county. There are no separate requirements for participating in the service.
You can receive information about your state of health and instructions from a professional accordingly. You may be directed to further examinations or treatment. This is a preventive service.
In order for multi-professional cooperation to be implemented, you must provide your signed consent for information sharing and multi-professional cooperation. The East Uusimaa wellbeing services county’s form ‘Suostumus tietojen vaihtamiseen moniammatillisessa yhteistyössä’ (Consent to information sharing in multi-professional cooperation) or Kela’s ‘Y100’ form can be used for this purpose. The consent form must be sent as an appendix to the referral.
How is the service organised?
The goal of the free-of-charge health check-up performed by the public health nurse is to identify any hindrances to your work ability, support your psychological wellbeing and life management, and promote your health, work ability and functional capacity. The goal of preventive health check-ups is to prevent chronic diseases and cure and alleviate the physical, psychological and social consequences of illnesses. If necessary, it is also possible to arrange a telephone appointment.
The public health nurse will direct you to a doctor’s appointment or a more extensive assessment of your work ability and functional capacity if needed. Doctor’s appointments are subject to the normal health centre fee.
