Public Health
GetFit Wellness is playing a role in addressing key public health issues. With over 29 million overweight or obese adults in the UK and rising, combined with greater pressure on Primary Care Trusts (PCT) and GPs alike to cut costs yet improve patient care, there is an immediate and pressing need for solutions to these issues.
A shift towards preventative health care is a key aim to reduce the burden of chronic illness which results from obesity and poor lifestyle choices.
GetFit Wellness is actively working with Strategic Health Authorities, Primary Care Trusts and General Practitioners to offer affordable, accessible healthy living programmes to their communities and patients, focused on delivering sustainable changes in lifestyle to create longer term health benefits.
GetFit Wellness' solutions are well placed to support public health goals and initiatives to help people lead healthier lives and relieve pressure on acute sector services.
