Our Patient Participation Group continues to hold a weekly walking group welcome to all patients.
Long, medium and short walks are enjoyed every Tuesday morning and are greatly appreciated, as is the dedication of our trained walk leaders.
We meet at the surgery every Tuesday in the Education Room and start walking at 10am. Eric Bridger is co-ordinator of the group supported by Zen O’Sullivan.
Some of the benefits of walking regularly:
- Increased cardiovascular and pulmonary (heart and lung) fitness
- Improved management of conditions such as hyper-tension, high blood pressure, diabetes etc.
- Increased muscle strength and endurance
- Reduces excess body fat and reduces the risk of developing heart disease, osteoporosis and some cancers
The best way to learn more about the group is to pop-in to the surgery around 9:45am on a Tuesday morning where a warm welcome is guaranteed, you could even bring a friend!
