Health and Well-Being 

 

Being part of the Ready Set Rossendale team is so important to me as a GP in the area. Daily I'm seeing the destructive effects an inactive lifestyle can have on people. Being physically active reduces individuals risks of developing chronic disease that will affect quality and quantity of life.

Children are naturally physically active, unfortunately as the grow the time they are physically active tends to reduce. It's so important we encourage physical activity in all settings for children- and I believe in Rossendale we can. 

 

Over the last 12 months I've really enjoyed bringing the health and wellbeing roadshow to schools in the Valley- ranging from nursery to secondary schools. Myself and other members of the primary care team have enjoyed talking to parents and students alike and discussing different aspects of wellbeing. If you would like the road show to come to your school or if you have another event in mind, please contact me! 

 

Thank you
