Bowled over by success

BDJ Student volume 26, page 8 (2019)Cite this article

Founded in 2010 by Dr Chet Trivedy, a dual-qualified dentist and doctor, Boundaries for Life provides a valuable service to help users to understand their current health as well as any risk of developing health issues in the future. The programme is made possible by a team of volunteer doctors, dentists, nurses and non-clinical helpers, who check users for signs and risks of health issues including blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, heart age, mouth cancer and obesity.

Dr Catherine Rutland, dental spokesperson and Head of Professional Support Services at Simplyhealth Professionals, said: 'We're delighted to sponsor Boundaries For Life for a third season and promote health awareness and the links between oral health and general health. The initiative provides an incredibly important free service to a captive audience who may not have seen a health professional recently and be unaware of their current state of health.'
