The 'healthy lives' section has been added to NHS Great Yarmouth and Waveney's website at www.gywpct.nhs.uk to give people easy, round the clock access to information about a huge range of programmes, courses and initiatives.
Designed as a one-stop-shop, the web pages include details of all of the PCT's healthy eating and exercise programmes, from those aged at children, such as MEND and HENRY, to those for adults, like the Life programmes.
The 'healthy lives' section also highlights the work of community health trainers, breastfeeding teams and nutritionists, giving lots of information about the help and advice which they can provide. The mobile food store's timetable is included, along with details of stop smoking services and exercise referral schemes.
