Shropshire Leisure Centres launch health referral programme to support long-term health conditions

A new health referral programme has been launched at four Shropshire Leisure Centres, providing a vital roadmap to recovery for residents living with certain long-term health conditions.

The ‘Healthy Life’ programme is designed to support individuals with a wide range of conditions such as type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s, long-COVID, musculoskeletal conditions and support with general weight management. People interested in signing up for Healthy Life can obtain a referral from their GP or healthcare professional.

The programme offers a comprehensive 12-week plan, which includes an initial assessment, followed by a tailored exercise plan suited to the individual’s needs. Whether it’s through a 1:1 session, specialised classes like "Good Boost", or other fitness activities, everyone will receive the right level of support for them.
