Lifestyle Hub Service 2022 - AWARD

Description

The Lifestyle Hub addresses the issue of unhealthy behaviours which may lead to an increase in chronic illness/disease that could otherwise be prevented through good nutrition, physical activity and smoking cessation. The service aims to provide a non-clinical and holistic service, offering a single point of contact for referral and signposting of individuals to a variety of lifestyle services. The target population for the lifestyle hub is: o Individuals aged 16 years or older at higher risk of developing long-term conditions due to their lifestyle; o Patients identified as being at increasing risk of cardio-vascular disease via the NHS Health Check; o Patients who attend routine GP/primary care appointments and meet the inclusion criteria for the Lifestyle Hub. This will include individuals with long-term conditions and modifiable risk factors, and identified as someone who may benefit from tailored physical activity and weight management support and lifestyle interventions. The contract will be for one year with the option of an extension for a further two blocks of one year (1+1+1). Funding is through the Better Care Fund and will be confirmed each year.
