About us
Clinically led heart health support in the workplace
My HQ Health was founded in 2015 by Jen Bayly, a Cardiac Specialist Nurse based in Sussex with more than 25 years’ NHS experience. HQ stands for Heart Quality. Jen created the service to make practical heart health education and confidential individual health checks easier to access at work.
Jen continues to work across NHS and independent cardiovascular services as a specialist nurse, clinical adviser and educator. This keeps My HQ Health’s work clinically led and informed by current practice.
“I want people to understand their heart health, identify potential risk factors earlier and feel clear and confident about what to do next.”
For larger or multi-site projects, Jen works with experienced healthcare professionals to provide a consistent, clinically led and confidential service.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels. It includes coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, stroke and vascular dementia. Some conditions are inherited or present from birth, while others develop over time.
Many important risk factors, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes, can develop without obvious symptoms. Finding them earlier gives people an opportunity to take action.
How It Works
Start with education - your employees' interest guides the next step
1. Heart health education for your whole team
A one-hour live session delivered online or in person by Jen Bayly, Cardiac Specialist Nurse, helping your employees understand how to reduce their risk of heart attacks and strokes.
2. Employees register their interest
After the session, your employees can use a link or QR code to express interest in a confidential workplace health check.
This is not a booking, and no medical information is collected.
3. Your organisation decides
My HQ Health provides you with details of the overall level of interest, while individual responses remain confidential.
You can then decide whether to fund workplace health checks for your employees.
If the health checks proceed
My HQ Health works with you as an employer to arrange confidential individual health checks at an agreed workplace venue and on agreed dates and times.
