Leicester Measure has over the years become the industry standard for inexpensively measuring growth in the community. It is designed to allow any child/adult up to 2m 10cm to be measured to the nearest 1cm. Manufactured from high quality components, it is highly portable and can be assembled/stowed within minutes. It was the chosen device for the UK’s National Child Measurement Programme [NCMP] from its inception and is instrumental in making it the public health success that it has become. A picture showing it in use is the cover illustration for the NCMP Operation Guidance 2012/13 school year. Videos showing its use are on the NHS Choices website.
