Information for GP’s, Practice Nurses & Referring Health Practitioners
This form can be used to refer patients onto the Liverpool Exercise for Health scheme and can be used in one of 3 ways subject to the patients preference:
  1. Completed in full and e-mailed to the patients preferred Lifestyles Centre. (see over) This will allow the centre to contact the patient direct to arrange their first appointment.
  2. Complete Section 1 and e-mail to the preferred Lifestyles centre if either patient or practice has concerns regarding the confidentiality of information being e-mailed. However, the form must be fully completed and handed to the patient to present in person at their subsequent appointment at the Lifestyles centre.
  3. Completed in full, printed and given to the patient. In this case the patient will be responsible for making contact with their preferred Lifestyles centre. Evidence suggests that some individuals may not make contact with Lifestyles once they leave the surgery / care centre and lose an opportunity to participate in the programme.
