Posted By Lisa Cawley Hello all! I hope that someone can help me. My MD has come to me looking for a piece of equipment to celebrate 600 days without an accident on site. We are looking for a device that can measure blood pressure, pulse etc that we can place in our waiting area and it can be used by employees and seen by visitors! Any ideas? Does any one have a similar device in their company? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Lisa

Posted By Martyn Hendrie Seems a strange way to celebrate but, Most pharmacies will sell these but, Lloyds Pharmacies have been advertising these devices at a reduced cost recently (I think £10). I don't know it the offer is still on but they do seem very good value

Posted By Alan Nicholls Seems a little bizarre. Waiting and similar places can be quite stressful. You stand a good chance of scaring the punters. (High blood pressure and all that). I purchased one A40 the wrist type monitor a year ago on advise from Oc/Health adviser. Easy to use and it came from our Lloyd's Pharmacy. Recommend it. Alan N

Posted By Ken Taylor Boots do one too. A strange idea! If the waiting areas are that stressful, perhaps a defibrillator would be a better choice.

Posted By Merv Newman I like the nurse idea. or an au pair (or is that sexist ?) Seriously though, hiring a nurse from an agency would be sure to get the cutomers lined up. Merv

Posted By Anwar Afzal Merv Have you not heard a male nurse or Au Pair? you could not be sexist if you tried mate. We are offering flu jabs to all employees on different dates and venues. Might be worth considering
