Active for health
A GP exercise referral programme that enables health professionals to refer patients who would benefit from taking regular exercise. The programme is 12 weeks in length, with free body MOT checks at weeks 1, 6 and 12.
The programme consists of a welcome consultation, where the following is carried out:
- A welcome questionnaire is completed to understand the client's medical and exercise background and their exercise goals and preferences.
- A full health check is completed, which includes measures of BMI, body composition,waist to hip ratio,lung functionality and blood pressure.
After this each client will be provided with a 12 week individually tailored programme of exercise. The choice of exercise is varied, including swimming, gym exercise and group exercise classes.
Follow up health checks are carried out 6 weeks into the programme and on completion of the programme, at 12 weeks. The information collected is used to demonstrate improvements in the health measures and is sent to the referring health professional, for them to assess patient progress.
