How much can I save?
How much you will save depends on the size of the system andwhen you use your electricity. Those at home during the day willprobably save more than those where the house is unoccupied.A 2kW system will produce around 1800 kWh (units) of
electricity a year, which if you use it all in the house it is worthapproximately £243 (based on an average kW price of 13.5p). Amore accurate figure can be provided following the free survey.
How do I use the Free solar electricity?
It’s easy. During the daylight hours the electricity producedgoes into your home’s electrical wiring and is automatically
used before you have to buy any from your electricity company.The more the sun shines, the more electricity that is produced.At peak, a typical system can run a large television, satellite
receiver, digital recorder, computer or games console, a fridgeand freezer, help boil the kettle, bake a cake, and power thedishwasher and the washing machine.
What happens if it breaks down?
!
The system will be monitored remotely and so if it breaks downthe people who maintain it will probably know before you noticeanything wrong. Part of the agreement is that it is maintainedfree of any cost to you for 25 years.
Will I have to change my
electricity supplier?
No, now and in the future you can buy the additional
electricity you need to supplement the solar panels from
any company you choose.
How do I take advantage of the scheme?First of all you need to tell the Energy Advice Centre that you are interested...Call: 0800 0564787 OR Complete the form below and return to:Freepost RRCE-XHET-BZER, Premier Energy Solutions, New Premier House, 8 Commercial Brow, HYDE, SK14 2JW.Then a surveyor from Premier Energy Solutions will arrange to visit and check your property is suitable.
How long does the scheme last?
The scheme is new, but the government has already stated thatit will be reviewed next year with the level of financial supportbeing reduced. This is likely to mean that now is the optimumtime that a system can be installed at no cost to householders.However, once installed the present payments will be
guaranteed for 25 years, so you will never be asked to payanything towards the installation or maintenance of the system.
What if I sell my house?
The agreement is for 25 years and so passes on to the
new owners of the property. With ever increasing electricityprices this should be a good selling feature.
Who will maintain the system?
If you opt for a Premier Energy Solutions funded system,we will install and maintain the system free of charge.
Work is carried out by in house accredited installers under thegovernment’s Microgeneration Certification Scheme.
If you choose to buy the system yourself, we do offer amaintenance service, but there will be a charge for this serviceplus any required parts.

The information you need to know...
What is being offered?
The Solar electricity systems being offered would be in the
region of 2kW to 3kW depending on the roof size and will be
similar to that illustrated, with the panels being fitted to the
side of the roof that faces in a southerly direction. Typically
the systems will produce between 1.8 kW and 2.7 kW of
electricity at peak, which is worth up to £335 a year for the
largest system. You will not own the system, but you and
any subsequent owners of the property will have the free
use of all the electricity produced over the next 25 years.
With energy prices continuing to rise, that could be worth
more than £18,500 (base on annual energy price increase
of 7%) over the life of the system. As well as the free
installation and use of the energy produced, all maintenance
and repairs will also be free.
PES152 V1
Free
Electricity Systems
Solar
How does the system work?
Sunlight falling onto the panels is converted into electricity,
which is fed directly into the home’s electrical system
through a box, called an “Inverter” either in the roof space
or on the outside wall. All of the electricity produced is
available for you to use without charge, whilst any surplus
goes back into the electricity grid.
Who is eligible?
The scheme is open to all owners (including those with a
mortgage) along with private and social landlords, although
tenants must apply through the landlord. The roof of the
property would need to be sound and able to take the
weight of the panels and the electrical wiring would need
to be in good condition. As the system relies on sunlight,
there should be no shading from tall buildings or trees.
The suitability would be confirmed by a free survey of the
property which we will undertake.
How is it being paid for?
To encourage the installation of more systems that produce
renewable energy, the government has introduced a scheme
called “Feed-in Tariffs” (FITs). This pays the owner of systems
an annual amount depending on the amount of electricity
produced. This repays their investment in funding the
installations. Premier Energy Solutions will fund the installation
or alternatively, the property owner can pay for it themselves.
More on reverse...www.premierenergysolutions.co.uk
If you want to buy the system...
They cost around £8,000 to £12,000 for a 2 – 3kW
respectively, and there is no grant up-front, just the
Feed In Tariffs (FITs) instalments over the 25 years.

Body mass index
The body mass index (BMI) is calculated by
dividing your weight (in kg) by the square of
your height (in metres). A BMI greater than
25 may indicate that you are overweight,
while a BMI greater than 30 generally
indicates obesity.
A BMI from 20 through to 26:
desirable for most middle-aged adults
Non-smokers with a consistent BMI within
this range have the lowest risk of disease
and premature death. In this category, weight
gain can be avoided through moderate eating
habits and exercise.
moderately overweight
This carries a slightly increased risk of weight-
related health problems, such as high blood
pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and
adult-onset diabetes. People in this group
have the hardest decision to make about
reducing, given the potential health risks of
weight loss. To prevent the development
of weight-related health problems, most
people in this category should avoid gaining
additional pounds by adopting a low-fat diet
and a routine of regular exercise. Weight loss
for cosmetic reasons is very common here.
truly overweight
The risk of developing heart disease and
other weight-related conditions rises
sharply. Most people should lose weight in
this category. Adult-onset diabetics in this
category should definitely reduce, since
blood-sugar control improves with
weight loss.
A BMI of 40 or more: severely overweight
These people are in great danger of dying
early. 80% eat in frequent binges. Secret
eating is common. The best weight loss
technique is often a fasting diet. The benefits
of losing weight clearly outstrip any dangers.
Urine testing
The testing of urine will pick up and point
towards a number of things. It screens
for urine tract infection, for signs of
kidney disease, and can point towards
any urine tract cancers. It also can be
used as a screening tool for diabetes and
control of sugar levels in patients who are
diabetic.
Blood pressure
Blood pressure is the pressure at which the
heart pumps blood around the body. The
reading is a two figure reading: systolic over
diastolic. The systolic reading is the pressure
when the heart contracts and the diastolic is
when it is relaxed. High blood pressure rarely
causes symptoms until it is extremely high or
has been high for a long period of time. High
blood pressure puts you at risk of heart attacks
and strokes. The readings will be a good measure
of cardiac risk in you. Low blood pressure can alsooccur, and this can point to illness such as anaemia.
Cardiovascular examination
Listening to the heart will give the clinician an ideaof whether the heart is beating in a normal way, andwhether there are any extra sounds. These extra soundscan point towards valve problems in the heart and sofurther testing may be needed.
The pulse rate and character will also indicate therhythm of the heart and it may show signs of disease of thecardiovascular system, or indeed, the pulse may be affectedby metabolic diseases such as thyroid problems.
An electrocardiogram (ECG) test shows the electrical
activity of the heart. An ECG is a standard test in
cardiovascular disease that highlights whether the
electrical activity is affected in any way
by damage to the muscle walls of the
heart. In individuals who have had a
heart attack, the heart muscle has
often been seriously stressed and
so alters the electrical activity
of the heart. The ECG can also
pick up abnormal beating of the
heart as well as missed beats
or extra beats.
Respiratory examination
The lungs are the breathing and oxygenation
centres of the body. Listening to and watching
the lungs move will highlight any damage to
them. The peak flow gives an indication of
lung capacity according to your body size.
This can be an indicator of airways disease.
Exercise review
The screening tool for measuring exercise
and nutrition will highlight the aspects of your
life that can be physically altered, if need
be, to enhance your health. It will give the
physical health specialist a glimpse into your
lifestyle to reflect your current health, tie in
with all the other aspects of your examination,
and highlight modifiable lifestyle behaviour.
Blood testing
The blood testing will screen for a number of
illnesses and diseases and cover the majority
of the body systems.
The blood test will include :
• Full blood count
- look at haemoglobin levels
- look for markers of infection
- look at cells that fight infection
and help immunity
• Electrolytes
- balance of fluid and salts in the body to
aid cell function
• Kidney function
- basic kidney function
- screening for kidney failure
• Liver function tests
- activity of the liver
- normal functioning of liver to break down
toxic substances
- signs of any infection of the liver
• Lipid profile
- cholesterol - to predict cardiac
disease risk
• Glucose
- screening for diabetes
The medical examination is a comprehensive examination of all the systems ofthe body to identify any disease process or illness that may be occurring.Along with the medical history section, a lot of the measurements andparameters used will aid the clinician to create a risk factor profile of someone’shealth at this moment in time and to see what can potentially lie ahead.
All the results of the above screening will be analysed individually and then collectively by the clinical
lead. A number of detailed scoring systems and evidence-based values will be used to create a
Galen Health scoring of your current health. These will then indicate your risk of various illnesses and
diseases that may occur. On the basis of your scoring, further actions and recommendations may be
needed to improve your overall health for today and into the future. By actively changing your life, you
will improve your scores and risk factors, creating better health for years to come.

Waist-to-height ratio
The waist-to-height ratio
(WtHR) is calculated by dividing
your waist size by your height.
The WtHR may give a more
accurate assessment of health
for serious athletes, especially
body builders, who have a higher
percentage of muscle and a lower
percentage of body fat, or for women
who have a ‘pear’ rather than an
‘apple’ shape. A WtHR under 0.5
(50%) is generally considered healthy.
Current guidelines, as given by
the World Health Organization and the
National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute,
only give values for waist circumference.
Those at substantially increased risk have
the same risk as someone with a BMI of 30.
Assuming the average male is 5’ 9”, and the
average female is 5’ 4”, here are the waist
cut-off values, and the corresponding WtHR.
Increased Risk Substantially
Increased Risk
Waist (WtHR) Waist (WtHR)
Men 37.0” (53.6%) 40.2” (58.3%)
Women 31.5” (49.2%) 34.6” (54.1%)
Recent medical research and studies
have shown that waist circumference
and waist-to-height ratios were positively
and significantly associated with blood
pressure, diabetes, low-density lipoprotein
(LDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides (the bad
cholesterols). They were also significantly
inversely correlated with levels of high-
density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (good
cholesterol). There is also evidence to show
that waist-to-height ratio is linked with
coronary heart disease (CHD) events.

Current medical problems
The aim of looking at current medical problems is to see whether
your current health is at risk of any illness that could occur in the
near or distant future. A number of current medical problems that
people suffer from are caused by a combination of ill health and
poor disease management earlier in life. The screening offers a way
to analyse these problems in order to prevent and possibly modify
the exacerbation of any current ill health.
Medication history
Taking a detailed medication history is an important and vital aspect
of health promotion and correct treatment of illness. It allows a
clinician to do a number of things such as, assess if the medication
is correct for the conditions it is being used for, and assess if the
medication needs any alteration. It also allows the clinician to safely
introduce other medication if need be, as many medications can
interact with one another. Together with the blood testing and
systems review, the medication history will ensure that all is as
it should be, and that the medication is not harming, instead of
benefiting, the individual.
Family history
People say ‘you can’t choose your family’. It is also true that you
can’t choose your family’s health. A screening question and answer
section on family medical history gives the clinician a chance to
look at the non-modifiable risk factors in someone’s health. Certain
cancers have a genetic potential and so we can advise on the
risk of that in the individual. Cardiovascular disease is increased
by a factor of 1.3 in people with a first degree relative suffering
from it. Therefore, the family history can aid the clinician to build
up a background risk profile of disease and illness potential in the
individual.
Previous medical and surgical history
Your medical and surgical history allows a clinician to build up a
risk factor profile of any previous illness that may put you at risk
in the future. It is also a valuable screening tool to influence any
future treatment that may be needed due to your medical and
surgical history.
Smear testing
Cervical smear testing is a very important aspect of screening for
cervical cancer in women. It is a simple, basic test that a nurse
or doctor can carry out. The fundamentals of the test are to look
at the cells of the cervix and to make sure they are normal. If they
are abnormal at all, then further testing will be needed. Statistics
show that a woman’s risk of cervical cancer is cut by 84% if she
has a smear test every five years, and by 91% if she has a smear
every three years. Some recommendations suggest women
should have annual smear tests to reduce the risk even further
(an additional 1-2%).
Systems review
The aim of the systems review is to take a snap shot of all the
systems in the body in order to pick out any symptoms and signs
that could be an indicator of illness or disease that otherwise may
be missed. It is a systematic tool that a clinician can use to cover
all major organs in the body and then hone in on the relevant ones
that may need more detailed examinations.

Supporting your body’s defences is
important because it can help you to:
• Maintain overall health and wellbeing
• Cope and deal with day-to-day
challenges, both physically and mentally
There are many things that can be done to help
support the body’s natural defences, including taking
regular exercise, maintaining a balanced diet and
ensuring you have sufficient rest. The following are
some easy steps you can take to make sure that you
are looking after your body’s defences. If you try to
implement as many as you can, you will notice the
difference at your next health screen.
Eat Well
Certain foods are believed to help support your
body’s defences. Fruit and vegetables are the most
accessible, all-round source of vitamins, so even if
you find it difficult to make time to cook meals from
scratch, you can easily achieve your ‘5 a day’ by
opting for ready-prepared fruit smoothies, vegetable
soups and fresh salads.
Sleep Well
Sleep gives the body’s defences a chance to get to
work on repairing the body.
To help you get your daily quota, try some
of these sleep strategies:
• Become a creature of habit. Try to keep
to a regular bedtime – even at weekends
• Make your bedroom a peaceful haven
for sleep
• Limit daily caffeine intake – and no
caffeine within six hours of bedtime
• Don’t have a big meal close to bedtime
• Have a warm bath before going to bed
Exercise
Regular exercise is a great way to help support your
body’s defences. Studies have shown that people who
exercise regularly live longer and enjoy a better quality
of life than those who choose not to. So, build regular
exercise into your life – aim to do 30 minutes at least
five times a week, and make sure it gets you moving
and increases your heart rate. You could go for a brisk
walk every day or go for a cycle ride. These are great
activities to stimulate your cardiovascular fitness.
Be positive and reduce stress
Just as stress can lower your body’s defences, a
positive outlook can strengthen them. If you feel good
about yourself and maintain an active involvement in
life, you may be more likely to be happy – and healthy.
The following tips are all good ways to
achieve a positive state of mind:
• Take time to stop and relax whenever
you feel stressed
• Try not to rush – plan the activities you
have to do in advance. Try to be realistic
with your schedule, and don’t try to do
everything all at the same time
• Keep up mental activity outside work such
as going to the movies, reading or taking
a course
Hygiene
It’s important for you to play an active role in helping
your body fight germs, so good hand-washing habits
top the list. Think of all the bugs let loose when you
sneeze –there are millions. Covering your nose with a
clean, disposable tissue (promptly thrown away) and
then washing your hands with soap and hot water will
help stop germs in their tracks.
Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and
mouth as much as possible – and if you do touch,
ensure your hands are very clean.

in Your Hands’.

A genuine piece of an Ice Age Woolly Mammoth fossil
limb bone, the most well known mammal from the last
Ice Age. From the North Sea, off the Coast of Holland,
partial bones, tusk and other Ice Age fossils are caught
by trawler nets whilst fishing. Over 10,000 years old
from the Pleistocene period when a change in climate
and mans hunting patterns caused their extinction,
some pieces may date as far back as 100,000 years.
However, some dwarf Mammoths are thought to have
survived on an Artic Island until as recently as 1700
years ago.

Triceratops, meaning “three horned face” was a
herbivore which roamed North America in great herds,
growing to 10metres in length and weighing up to
12,000kgs.
Living alongside Tyrannosaurus Rex and making up
the majority of the herbivore population just before
the end of the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago.
These pieces are the remains of Triceratops bones
discovered in the famous Hell Creek Formation,
Montana, USA, dating back to the Late Cretaceous
Period.

This complete fossil shark tooth is a 70 million year
old, Cretaceous Period extinct Crow Shark, (Squalicorax
pristodontus). This specimen was excavated in the
Ouled Abdoun phosphate basin, Morocco.
From the size of the largest known teeth, it has been
estimated that Squalicorax grew to over 5 metres
in length.
Squalicorax was a predator, but also scavenged, as
evidenced by a Squalicorax tooth found embedded in
the metatarsal (foot) bone of a hadrosaurid dinosaur
that most likely died on land and ended up in the water.

years to the Eocene Period.
Amber originates as soft, sticky tree resin, which can
sometimes contain insects and even small vertebrates.
Occurring in a wide range of colours, not just the
usual yellow-orange-brown. From white to almost
black, rarer colours include red, green and highly
sought after blue.
This specimen of natural rough amber was collected
on the Baltic Coast of Latvia and when polished could
reveal insects or other inclusions.
