Health Referral
LED Community Leisure runs a variety of different health programs to support people suffering with long term health conditions.
Health Referral
Physical activity plays an essential role in preventing and managing a wide range of health conditions. Health professionals can refer patients to these low-cost programmes to help improve, manage, or prevent health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, depression and many more.
Our affordable exercise referral course is designed to help participants develop the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to improve their health and wellbeing. This comprehensive 12-week programme features one-to-one consultation, individually tailored activity plans, and teaches how to change behaviours for lasting impact.
These sessions run at Ottery, Honiton, Exmouth, Sidmouth, Seaton and The Hangar.
Cancer Rehab
Every year, more and more people are receiving successful cancer treatment. Many people affected by cancer want to make positive changes in their lives. Taking steps to be physically active as part of a healthier lifestyle can be part of this.
Evidence has shown that physical activity can help prevent or manage many of the conditions that cancer survivors may face. Our Cancer rehabilitation programme is dedicated to helping cancer survivors get more physically active and support cancer survivors take steps to make any healthy lifestyle changes that they may want to make.
These sessions run at Ottery, Honiton, Exmouth, Sidmouth, Seaton and The Hangar.
Cardiac Rehab
Our Cardiac rehabilitation programme is designed for those who may have had a cardiac event and have been referred either from their GP or from a Phase 3 team at the local hospital. The programme safely explores the benefits of physical activity and provides individuals with the tools to develop the lifestyle behaviours needed for a smother recovery, including heathy eating habits and stress management techniques.
This programme is built upon the British Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation Standards. Contact your GP for further information.
