The
Exercise on Referral Scheme is a scheme that links all 26 G.P. surgeries
with the Council’s leisure services.
Patients at risk from coronary
heart disease, obesity, depression or any illness which will benefit from
exercise can be referred to one of the Council’s fitness consultants
for a full assessment followed by a tailored programme of exercise which
might involve attendance in the gym or on healthy walks, swimming pool
or the green gym.
All this for the cost of a prescription which is currently
£6.00
The WLHA is supporting the Exercise on Referral Scheme £5,000
to increase accessibility to referred patients, by providing training
to fitness instructors working within Wrexham County Borough Council in
Exercise on Referral and Cardiac Rehabilitation.
