Omagh

Omagh District Council through The Healthy Town’s initiative has secured funding from PHA to provide an Active Life Programme.

The funding secured from The PHA has enabled Omagh District Council to deliver a free 12 week programme based at Omagh Leisure Complex, The DEC, Fitness and Health Suite.

The Physical Activity Referral Programme Co-ordinators will provide physical activity sessions for clients who have been referred by their GP Practice. 
People with weight conditions make up a significant proportion of Hospital admissions and particularly repeated avoidable admissions.
A common thread within these referrals is increased risks of depression leading to greater risk of unstable physical health.

The Active Life Coordinators will work alongside GP’s and Practice Nurses from Omagh District Council Area for referrals onto the scheme. Clients referred to the scheme by their GP’s will attend a 12 week exercise programme in the ‘DEC’ Fitness Suite at Omagh Leisure Complex, and will receive ‘one to one’ instruction. If you feel you would be eligible, please contact your GP for a referral and take the first steps to improving your health.
