Warwickshire County Council (WCC) currently has contracts for several physical health services, which will end in 2023.

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.
