We believe exercise and fitness are very important for health and wellbeing. Exercise helps your heart, bones, joints and overall wellbeing. It also reduces stress, high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis and cancer, and helps you lose weight. Exercise is fun and keeps you healthy. Chews Health involves a 10 week nursing team led program with a focus on achieving weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. Each participant will be given a Chews Health folder containing supportive information and guidance to achieve health goals and a pedometer to monitor personal levels of fitness activity.

What will happen?

Patients will receive regular monitoring from the clinical team and ongoing support sessions with qualified Dietician. Events will be taking place in the local community as well as the surgery. In addition to this the Practice has partnered up with Chew Valley Sports centre. Following on from the initial Health Program patients will be able to participate in specifically designed fitness sessions specific for Chews Health participants which is free of charge to patients.

Who can I speak with about this?

In addition to Chews Health, patients who would like to be monitored individually at the practice for weight loss, please contact the Practice Nursing team for support.

For further information please contact the surgery and ask to speak with Rebecca Wych Lead Practice Nurse or Anne Yeates Health Care Assistant who will be happy to help.
