Hearty Lives West Norfolk
We are investing £100,000 over three
years to reduce health inequalities and encourage people to adopt
healthier lifestyles in some of the most deprived areas of West
Norfolk.
In an innovative partnership arrangement, GPs from the surgeries
in the West Norfolk Clinical Commissioning Group area will refer
patients to the local Health Trainer Team, who in turn will support
patients to make healthier life choices and access a wide range of
healthy lifestyle services.
Our Aim
- make a positive impact on the health and lifestyles of
people living in some of the most deprived wards in West Norfolk –
particularly around King’s Lynn, Downham Market and Swaffham
- pioneer a Lifestyle Referral Pathway with professionals
working in primary care, by encouraging clinicians and nurses
to refer patients confidently on to local health improvement
services
- provide and promote local Public Health leadership, by
co-ordinating and supporting a wide range of lifestyle
interventions, and building this into the long term aims of the
West Norfolk Clinical Commissioning Group
