GP Referral

The GP Exercise Referral Programme is a 12 week programme to help you develop a physically active lifestyle.

Is the programme right for me?

If you have ever thought;
I don’t know what activity is best for me?
How much activity should I be doing?
I have tried and tried but never stay active
I’m scared of getting injured or unwell

The sports department co-ordinators will help you become motivated, confident and independent. They will gradually increase your activity levels, motivation and confidence so that on completion you have all the skills you need to stay active, happy and healthy for life.

The Referral Process
The first point of contact is with the GP in the Health Centre.
A copy of your referral form is sent to the sports department coordinator who contacts you to arrange and initial assessment appointment for your 12 week programme

Assessment
Your Local Coordinator will meet you at the Sports Centre where they will set goals, get your activity pack, plan your exercise sessions, and learn how to use the gym (if you want to!). You will also have your baselines and medical details checked, meet the staff and get to know your facility. They will do follow up assessments which will check your goals re-plan your sessions and review your progress, and at the end they will set goals for the future, re-check your baselines, complete and get certificate, report sent to your GP.
