rank counties by health status
While this is from a US context it does have significant
resonance with UK Evidence, though I would want to
increase the contribution of housing to health outcomes
from a UK perspective.

but this masks several districts with

• Self management in primary care and chronic
disease
• Benefits of physical activity
• Behavioural support and change (variety of
techniques)
• Early identification of people with disease and
pathwaying into healthier lifestyles

It is not the answer to obesity, it is part of AN answer
It is important in and of itself as a health-giving and
health-protecting exercise (vascular, endocrine,
musculo-skeletal, cognitive, emotional and immune
benefits)
Second nature self-propelled transport
Link up to behavioural pathways in prevention
Balances pharmacological pathways in prevention of
non communicable disease
Supports self care in non communicable disease
Supports tehabilitation
Mental health resilience and coping
www.hertsdirect.org
13. Mental Health and Physical Activity
• Resilience
• Self Management
• Early Intervention
• Physical health challenges
• Unity of person – biopsychosocial approach
• MH Benchmarking exercise
www.hertsdirect.org
14. a new approach is needed, focus on shifting
weight distribution in the population
Underweight
Healthy weight
Overweight
Obese
Average BMI
Maximise proportion
at a healthy weight
Minimise proportion
at an unhealthy
weight
Fewer overweight
Fewer underweight
Fewer obese
www.hertsdirect.org
Average BMI
Reduce average BMI
Underweight
Healthy weight
Overweight
Obese
Make more people a
healthy weight,
not just fewer
people obese
15. Systems thinking on wider determinants
Getting everyone on the same systems page
The wider determinants of Health and Local Government functions
(Must adopt a Lifecourse approach!)
The Lives people lead and whether LA functions help or
hinder healthy lifestyles (policy, service quality, access,
behavioural economics, behavioural sciences)
The services people access such as primary care
(high quality, easy access, good follow up,
behavioural and lifestyle pathways wrap around)
www.hertsdirect.org
16. Some parameters – yes please to
• Physical activity population wide as an important public
•
•
health intervention
Targeted and tailored interventions for populations
– Health walks
– Cardiac rehabilitation phases 1 – 4
– Secondary prevention
– Post surgery rehabilitatipn
– Better access for disabled people
Range of benefits – physical and psychological
– “Everybody more active, more of the time”
– Everyone working out their role and contribution
www.hertsdirect.org
17. Some parameters
• No to assuming physical activity is “the solution”
•
to obesity (because it simply isn’t)
Need to work out the role of elite sports and our
sports clubs in public health challenges
– Suggestion – their public health role is about
• doing what they do already
• Increasing participation at all levels
• Helping create a culture of physical activity
• They are a part of an answer, not the answer
www.hertsdirect.org
18. Values for sports and physical activity sector Ottawa Charter, 1986
• "The goal of a healthy public policy is health promotion, i.e., to
enable people to increase control over and improve their health.
• It is also essential to
–
–
–
–
create supportive environments,
strengthen community action,
develop personal skills and
reorient health services.
All of these are area where sports and physical activity can help
www.hertsdirect.org
19. The upshot of the Ottawaw Charter for sport and
physical activity
• Regular physical activity available for ALL as
routine part of life
• Physical activity providers as part of public
health pathway
• Making every contact count
• Physical Activity Plus +
• Sport from entrant to elite – social norms
reinforcing activity and health
www.hertsdirect.org
20. What it means for NHS Services, for example
• Preventive services in every patient pathway
• Preventive services in clinical services link up to
community services (referral for leisure and
behavioural interventions)
• Making Every Contact Count
• Commissioning for self-management in chronic
disease
www.hertsdirect.org
21. Physical Activity Plus+
• Referral from GPs and services
• Physical activity more widely on referral
• Staff have health goal assessment, motivation
and behaviour change skills
• Inclusion of people who face barriers to access
(cost, disability, etc)
www.hertsdirect.org
22. What it means for physical activity agencies
• Mainstream an ethos of public health in your
service
• Co-design public health services with public
health commissioners
• Embed public health skills across your services
• Build resilience in users and communities
• Motivate people to self-manage
• Become health promoting in all you do
www.hertsdirect.org
23. Phasing and Layering across public health
•Think through what we can do short term
•Start work on the medium term
•Set the policy framework for the long term
•Build this understanding among partners
•Get started and realise
•County, District, Parish, NHS, Business and
Community Sector working together

The evidence base for changing health behaviour is developing quickly. Brief interventions in primary care (by practice nurses and
GPs) can motivate people to change, providing referral onwards is speedy. This pathway

that, e.g. obesity)
