MyHealth History

MyHealth started with a simple mission, to empower patients. In 2014 we started small with a few people helping them eat a healthier diet which could help lower their blood sugar.

From this an idea grew, what if we could work with Hillingdon patients, local organisations and local GP’s to build workshops that gave information on long term condition’s, where usually there is no time to discuss in an appointment.

So that’s what we did.

Over the past 6 years and over 8 thousand patients later going from strength to strength, the programme has expanded to support long term conditions such as Diabetes type 2, COPD (respiratory breathing conditions), Children’s Asthma and Hypertension.

In addition we have now achieved an official accreditation for our Diabetes type 2 and Pre-Diabetes workshop’s. We are fully realising our goal of empowering patients with the knowledge of how to self-manage their conditions and take back more control in their life.
