Activity and Exercise Referral Schemes

How does it work?

Everyone can benefit from being more active and the exercise and activity referral schemes introduce people to the health benefits of physical activity.

These schemes are for Herefordshire and Worcestersire residents who may have a pre-existing medical condition and could therefore benefit from exercise, or for people whose health is at health risk through a non-active lifestyle.

The exercise referral schemes provide two different programmes, administered by appropriately registered exercise professionals, to meet the clinical needs of patients depending on their health and physical condition. The programmes are for adults aged 16 years and over.

Is this for me?

Exercise and activity referral is for you if you want to improve you health through increasing your activity levels and learning about how you can live a healthier, more active life. You may be new to physical activity, or you may be wanting to get back into exercise after illness or just a few years out.
