Sign up for Chest, Heart and Stroke's, “Well You” programme

Would you like to invest in yourself and gain support to make lifestyle changes that will help reduce your risk of chest, heart and stroke illnesses and improve your overall health and wellbeing commencing in January 2020?  

SERC have teamed up with Chest, Heart and Stroke for their 12 week “Well You” programme which will cost £70 (which equates to £5.83 per week) and is payable by staff at the initial sign up stage.

As part of the programme Chest, Heart and Stroke staff will meet with you for your 30 minute Well Check Plus which will cover the atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) test, blood pressure, cholesterol and a body composition analysis. After this you will receive weekly emails covering various topics such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress and chest, heart and stroke conditions. Within these emails there are weekly tasks and challenges such as goal setting, completing a food diary and physical activity challenges which you can complete.

The information and resources aim to encourage and motivate you to make lifestyle behavioural changes to help achieve the goals you have set. At the end of the 12 weeks you will receive another Well Check which will show the positive impact that you have made on your health as a result of your behavioural changes.  

Staff will also be welcome to attend confidential weigh ins throughout the programme which can be undertaken by SERC Wellbeing Champions.   Start dates in January are to be determined and will be worked around staff availability. 

If you would like to avail of this opportunity in January 2020 please email mindyourself@serc.ac.uk before 12 noon on Wednesday 18 December 2019.
