Smoking, weight, activity, alcohol and wellbeing support in one local service, so your residents get help with everything that matters to them without being passed between providers.
An integrated service lets you commission once for several outcomes, and gives residents one place to go.
Smoking, weight, activity, drinking and mood are closely linked, and one often affects another. We bring them together in one service built on evidence-based behaviour change and positive psychology, so people can work on several changes at once or one after another.
In Nottinghamshire, our cross-trained integrated lifestyle team delivers more than 16,000 outcomes a year.

2009
Community-based lifestyle services, refined across more than 20 health and social care systems.
One team and one assessment, with support across all of these.
Fewer people drop out between referral and support when they don’t have to start again.
Every person begins with a My Story conversation about their life, their goals and what’s getting in the way. One plan then follows them across the service, so they can move from stop smoking support to a weight programme or a walking group without a new referral or another assessment.
In Nottinghamshire, 94.6% of weight management clients who gave feedback left their session with a personalised goal.
Step 1
One front door
Self-referrals and referrals from GPs, pharmacies, social prescribers and partners all come through a single point of access.
Step 2
A My Story conversation
We find out what matters to the person and agree where to start.
Step 3
The right level of support
Digital tools, health coaching or a more structured programme, stepped up or down as needs change.
Step 4
Support close to home
Groups and one-to-one sessions in local venues, by phone or online.
Step 5
Connected for the long term
We link people to local groups and community activities so changes last after the programme ends.
We focus effort where need is greatest and design support with the people we want to reach.
We use public health data, local insight and our Health Equity Assessment Tool to plan outreach. In Gloucestershire, 58% of the people taking part in our service come from the most deprived communities, and targeted outreach raised engagement in the Forest of Dean and Gloucester by 27%.
Sessions run in community centres, churches, mosques and partner venues. Healthy Lifestyles Gloucestershire works alongside 18 community groups in their own spaces.
People using our services help redesign them. Men already on our weight management programmes helped us design an offer that more men would want to join.
We build referral routes and warm handovers with primary care, NHS services, Talking Therapies, substance use services and voluntary sector partners, so residents move smoothly into and out of the service.
In one recent mobilisation, we transferred more than 125 staff under TUPE and launched a combined stop smoking and lifestyle service in three months.

“We are a one-stop shop for helping people to improve their health, whatever that looks like. Nothing we do is one-size-fits-all. We start with people’s lives, not a checklist.”
