 With the new year approaching you might be thinking about what you can do to get a little bit fitter.
So why not get a kick start with a one to one appointment with a Wellbeing Advisor?
Firstly have a go on our body composition scales to find out your hydration levels, metabolic rate and fat percentage. Then discuss your results and go through some suggestions for how you can improve them.
If you have already had a Wellbeing Check with us and would like another you are always welcome to come back. We suggest about a 3 month gap between appointments.

 Our Wellbeing Advisors are now available for appointments at Southgate Medical Centre and Langley Corner Surgery. Which gives the opportunity for GP's and nurses to refer directly to us. If you are a member of these surgeries please give them a call to book in for a Wellbeing Check with us.
We visit Southgate Medical Centre every Wednesday from 1-3:30pm and Langley Corner Surgery on the first Tuesday of every month from 1:30-3:30pm. Booking is essential.
