The ‘<A HREF="http://staymobilestayconnected.org/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Stay Mobile Stay Connected’</A> Champions are spearheading a campaign to change attitudes and turn the conventional medical model on its head.
Our mission is to change the script. Our radical message to their own generation is:
<UL>
<LI>Don’t let doctors and hospital appointments rule your life. </LI>
<LI>The key is to Stay Mobile and Stay Connected</LI>
<LI>Prevention is better than cure. And cheaper</LI>
<LI>By staying well, we save the NHS money</LI>
<LI>Our campaign is a rescue mission for the NHS </LI>
</UL>
