Description

The primary role of the service is to address the issue of unhealthy lifestyles which may lead to an increase in chronic illness and disease that could otherwise be prevented. Clients are referred by GP practices and some third sector services, and are offered an appointment with an advisor. The role of the advisor is to suggest changes in lifestyle - primarily referring and signposting to external programmes, including exercise and weight management.

The service must be community based, with appointments being made in places and at times to suit the local population.
