Health Promotion

Health Promotion is the science and art of helping people, organisations, and communities change lifestyle behaviours to move toward a state of improved health resulting in decreases in chronic disease and health care costs.

The World Health Organisation defines Health promotion as ‘the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. It moves beyond a focus on individual behaviour towards a wide range of social and environmental interventions.’

Health is determined in many different ways so promoting good health should reach all classes, and abilities, and find a way to help individuals live their best lives based on current research and proven information.

Our health promotion enables people to increase control over their own health. It covers a range of social and environmental interventions that are designed to benefit and protect individual people’s health and quality of life by addressing and preventing the root causes of ill health, not just focusing on treatment and cure.

Within our health promotion we have physiotherapy, counselling, sports therapy and rehabilitation and first aid.
