Day 1 
2 male police offerics were health screened (50 and 55). All the tests from to planand it was when it came to giving the feed back that the skills i’d learnt from all my oast health screenings were put to further use. While results such as cholestil weren’t to bad it was scores such as their visceral fat that were worring, with one having a level of 13 anf the other a 15 which while the scale is 1-50 levels 13-15 is the point where it starts to get worring and something needs to be done. Chris was there at the time so was able to help me give them advise on what to do after i had feed them back the scores. As i’m ony 19 i’m not always sure how much people take in when i give feedback, because while most seem to take it all on board some i feel are less likely to act on it because they’ve been told by someone whos still a teenager, while Chris dispte being 23 looks older (whih he says so himself) so i feel people may relate to him better and therefor be more willing or able to take advise from him.
I had some inttesting conversations with the two offers. One had presvously been in the navy which had caused his hearing to be damaged due the noise of gun shots, he also said that he use to play rugby and was on the bench for one of the amry vs navry game which is held at twickenham eahc year. This bit of information helped me keep up conversation more fluentlly as my dad who army also plays rugby so i was able to talk to them about rugby, army and navry. Also as with two offericer from day 5 last week the two men also mentioned that they had been to an attempted suicide. The person had jumped off the tamr bridge but so how managed to surive although with very damangng injuryies when a boat fished him out of the water. It made me wonder how the officers must have been feeling throughout and what toll it can take on some ones mental health to not ony try and stop some from jumping but then seeing them still do it.
Day 3
3 people were health screened, one woman and two men. The woman wasn’t a police officer but one of the university staff who had booked in a health screening. She was natural a chatty person which help made it eciser for a fluent conversation to be upheld though the health screening. It was also nice to have a client who was a police officer as it gave me more of a challage to come up with topics of conversations , where as with the police ones I could start with the same topic which I knew would apply to all of them.
Day 4
Finally day of placesment. and we had a total of 8 officers come in. While it was another uneventful session it was the day I decided in my mind that I would like to carry on with the police health screening project. The day also gave me time between health screenings to reflect upon the placement and what I’ve managed to achieve during that period. These reflections I’ve written On the Placement reflection page.
