Lifestyle Hub
What is the Lifestyle Hub?
It is a central point of contact for healthy lifestyle, weight
management and physical activity programmes. You can get further
information on Stop Smoking, Reducing Alcohol and Carers Services.
The Lifestyle Hub Advisors can also offer front line healthy eating
advice and ways to get you moving a little more. You work with the
Lifestyle Advisor to make changes you feel you are ready to
make.
How do I get a Lifestyle Hub appointment?
Once referred by your GP or Practice Nurse,
you will be given a patient leaflet with a little more information
about the Lifestyle Hub and our contact details. We will call you
to book you in for your first appointment, but please feel free to
help us out and give us a call first.
What happens after my Lifestyle Hub
appointment?
Your first appointment is agreeing on which
programme you wish to be referred to, next you choose when to see
your Lifestyle Advisor over a period of a few months for support
and motivation – we call these “follow up" or "review”
appointments. These appointments are informal 30 minute chats
– you can choose to enrol in another programme or maybe
think about another area of your lifestyle you would like
to improve upon. It’s up to you how you use these appointments and
we can be flexible with how often you want them – just ask!
