Get Active, Improve your Health

Released on 6 May 2008

Are you one of the 70% of men or 80% of women who don't take enough exercise?

Every day our health professionals see people who could really improve their health with just a little exercise.

The Oxfordshire Exercise on Referral scheme has been launched to help people find an easy and supportive way to make a positive lifestyle change with exercise. Eligible patients are referred to the scheme by a health professional such as their GP or physiotherapist.

Once on the scheme you receive a 12-week personal fitness programme tailored to your personal and medical needs. 

The scheme is available at Ferry Sports Centre, Blackbird Leys Leisure Centre or Temple Cowley Pools.

The scheme is a partnership between the Oxfordshire Primary Care Trust and Oxford City Council's Leisure Services.

If you would like to find out more please speak to your GP or other health professional.
