What is a Health Referral Scheme?

What is a Health Referral Scheme?

  • Exercise and health referral schemes are designed to help people who would benefit from regular exercise.
  • Physical activity can play an important role in preventing and managing health conditions such as; coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, mental health problems, musculoskeletal conditions and some cancers.
  • It also has a positive effect on wellbeing and mood, providing a sense of achievement or relaxation and release from daily stress.
  • Programmes run by us include: exercise on referral, weight management programmes, health circuits, aqua rehabilitation, cardiac rehabilitation and many more.
  • Our specialist exercise referral instructors will promote and support your on-going health and wellbeing, every step of the way.

If you are interested in being referred to your local Health Referral programme please contact your local GP to find out more or email our Healthy community team: [email protected]
