We welcomed our colleagues from Livewell again today to introduce their work to patients nominated by the surgery as needing extra health & well being support. Thanks to the efforts of our Health Care Assistant & Interpreter in particular there were 12 people in attendance and we are hoping that most of these will come back next week to get started on the Livewell programme
The plan is to invite them to come along every week for the next 12 weeks, so we can give them some quite intensive support including delivering the 8 week weight loss course and also get them accessing other parts of Livewell (exercise classes, swimming, walks).
Any patient interested in this additional help to support a healthier lifestyle or to combat weight gain should talk with one of our clinicians.
