Adult Healthier Lifestyles – Warwickshire Residents survey

Overview

Warwickshire County Council (WCC) currently has contracts for several physical health services, which will end in 2023. WCC will be designing a new service which will focus on improving Warwickshire resident’s physical health. The aim is the new physical health service will provide you, as a Warwickshire resident, with advice and support to help you make healthy lifestyle changes and decisions. This would be related to physical activity, weight management, stop smoking and health checks taking place in General Practices, Pharmacies, and in the community. WCC aim to encourage and support residents to be healthier so that you can prevent and/or reduce the risk of developing long term health conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity.
