The Active Lifestyle Referral pathway offers people motivation, advice and support that is needed to help them improve their current health and wellbeing. The Active Lifestyle Co-Ordinators will promote the health benefits of an active lifestyle and will work with each patient on an individual basis.
- Complete the referral form - This is sent directly to the Active Lifestyle team @ Central Bedfordshire Council.
- The Co-Ordinator will contact the patient to book their first consultation
- At their first consultation, we will discuss a range of options that are available to the patient to help them make changes, signposting to various agencies including Weight Management, MIND, community activities, leisure centres and much more. We will talk about current lifestyle/behaviours, set goals and look at the pathway they wish to take.
- The Co-Ordinator will then support and guide each patient for up to a year, helping to keep them motivated and on track, meeting at regular points throughout the year.
- At the 12 months sign off point, patients will be reviewed, and we will look at how they can continue with the changes and sustain a healthy and active lifestyle.
