Habits for Health Programme
Take part in our ‘Habits for Health’ programme
We'd like to invite you to take part in our Habits for Health programme to help you become your ‘best’ self.
There is strong evidence that shows many of our long-term health problems can be really helped by the way we live our lives. We also know that many chronic health problems are not well managed by medicines alone and often the medicine just treats symptoms and doesn't get to the cause of the problem. That’s where our lifestyle programme comes in!
What is the Habits for Health programme?
Our interactive Habits for Health programme is aimed at patients with long-term health conditions and will help you to become a better manager of your own health and wellbeing. The programme is free for our patients to attend.
The programme will take place over six weeks, with one session each week
The first session is a workshop on identifying your personal needs and goals - helping you identify things in your life you can improve that you are happy you can stick with.
We will then support you in forming new healthier habits and behaviours on a small scale which have been shown to lead to big changes in your health and wellbeing.
Other sessions cover the topics of:
- Getting better sleep
- Moving more
- Taking care of your emotional wellbeing,
- Eating healthily
- Connecting with others
Throughout the program, we focus on how emotional and physical health are connected and why it's important to take care of all aspects of both to stay healthy.
Throughout the programme we show you how creating happier, healthier lives can be easy, and surprisingly fun!
These sessions are run by health coaches from our Health Connections team and by Dr Rob Taylor. Sessions include time for discussion in the group about how to put new habits in place.
