Who Can Join the Scheme?
If you are effected by one of the following conditions ask
your GP or Practice Nurse if they feel you would benefit from
regular exercise. If they do they can refer you onto the exercise
referral scheme at your local participating South Staffordshire
Leisure centre.
Conditions accepted onto the scheme include, mild hypertension,
obesity & weight management, diabetes, stress, mild anxiety,
smoking cessation, osteoporosis and arthritis.
What Happens Next?
If your medical professional has referred you onto the scheme,
you need to contact the leisure
centre directly who will make an appointment for you to see a
highly qualified exercise professional.
On your first appointment they will go through a health and
fitness assessment with you and draw you up and suitable personal
fitness programme.
After 6 weeks you will have another 30 minute appointment
where this will be re-assessed depending on your progress.
At 12 weeks you will have a re-assessment and your progress will be
highlighted to you and recommendations given on how to sustain your
more active lifestyle.
If you think you would benefit from regular exercise ask your
GP or Practice Nurse or other local health professional to refer
you to your local participating leisure centre.
For £23.40 you will receive 3 consultations with your exercise
professional, a personalised exercise programme and a log book.
During the referral you will be entitled to 50% off facilities at
the Leisure Centre.
At the end of the Referral you will have the chance to take
out a Leisure Membership.
