Healthy Heart Event
What a fantastic turnout for out last Healthy Heart Event. Despite the heat, almost 60 patients from the Braintree PCN joined us for our first-ever cardiovascular event.
A huge congratulations to our Transformation Lead, Lucy, for hosting such an important and successful day. Patients had access to vital health checks, weight loss advice, stop smoking services, and social prescribing advice.
Thank you to our HCAs, Nutritionists, Christchurch Pharmacy, Tesco and The Freshwell Low Carb Community – and to everyone who came along and took steps towards a healthier heart!
