Health Trainer Programme Update

Healthy Living Worker, Ian Preston with a resident at the Weight Management SessionsThe Health Trainer initiative is a two year pilot project aimed at giving local people the skills, knowledge and competencies they need to support individuals in the community to improve their health.

The project, which Community Counts helped to fund is being led by the Gloucestershire Primary Care Trust. A new Health Trainer Co-ordinator, Ian Preston, was appointed in late 2008 to lead the project and recruit three part-time health trainers whose work is designed to be focussed in Barton, Tredworth, Podsmead and Matson.

For further information, contact Ian on 07941 - 330055.
