Info for GPs and healthcare providers

At Marjon Health & Wellbeing we help patients lead healthy lifestyles. Noncommunicable diseases such as cancer, vascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes are the greatest challenge for health services. Risk factors include stress, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and social isolation. Our programmes encourage physical activity, fitness, healthy eating and relaxation techniques. We’ve shown that helping patients to self-manage in their community reduces the demand on core NHS services.

All our work is patient-centred, delivered in a social non-medical environment and underpinned by a strong evidence base of natural and social scientific disciplines. Patients are encouraged to discuss their concerns, health behaviours and learn from each other, and to go on and share their experiences with family and friends.
