Health Referral
We work in partnership with Derbyshire County Council and Killamarsh Parish Council to provide a Health Referral Programme. The scheme aims to increase exercise and activity in everyday life for people who want to improve their health. It is especially for those people who currently either do no or very little physical activity but who are motivated to do more. Being active each day makes us feel good, boost our confidence and improves our health & wellbeing.
To access the scheme you must visit your surgery and make an appointment with your GP or other health professionals such as practice nurses, weight management advisors, stop smoking advisors, community mental health staff, hospital staff, physiotherapist and together with yourself, will decide whether you can be referred to scheme.
If you are referred, you will be invited to a 1:1 appointment with our Health Referral Officer who will discuss with you about your referral and plan an exercise programme that is best suited to your personal needs and interests with realistic goals agreed. The scheme will last for a 12-week period with your progress and goals assessed after this period. A personal ongoing exercise regime will then be planned to suit your requirements to maintain your new active lifestyle.
We currently offer two sessions per week free of charge for the first 12-weeks. Any additional sessions are charged at a significantly discounted rate to support all, including vulnerable and disadvantaged people.
Five:60
Our Five:60 scheme aims to help stem the rise in childhood obesity from reception to year 6 children by increasing levels of physical activity and encouraging children, parents and teachers to make the necessary lifestyle changes to become more active and promote the benfits of a well balanced diet.
The activites are led by an exercise and fitness specialist in curriculum time as part of the schools PHSE timetable. The specialist is supported by a teacher during each session who assists in coaching and mentoring participants over a 12-week programme. The exercise and fitness specialist can then refer suitable participants to a special weekly after school Five:60 activity club which will help to signpost interested children and families to other mainstream physical activity sessions.
It is hoped that by the end of the 12-week programme all participants will be undertaking 60 minutes of physical activity a day and eating five portions of fruit and vegetables.
