The Better Living Service is involved in a project as part of:
- The national Get Britain Working initiative.
- The local Healthy Working Life programme.
Our role is to support employed people who are off sick with a fit note due to musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. We will work to improve their health, fitness and wellbeing to help them to return to work.
Please note: To access the service, you must be referred by a health professional or your employer.
This is a 12 month pilot from April 2025 delivered via the Better Living Service and wider Sports service. More information can be found, here: Healthy Working Life - West Yorkshire Health & Care Partnership.
Support we will offer:
- One to one physical activity support to manage MSK condition.
- Guidance to use local community activity provision.
- Health and wellbeing support.
Our trainers will provide the encouragement, motivation and advice to help and guide you along your health and wellbeing journey. By the end of your sessions, you will have a plan to embed physical activity into your everyday life. This will help to you to manage your MSK condition and wellbeing.
