New Year New Weight - Community Fit Club Weight Loss Workbook

Workplace Health and Wellbeing Programme

At Hampson Solutions we have worked with a number of organisations, both large and small, public and private sector, on programmes to improve the health and wellbeing of staff. We have drawn together our experience, our latest resources and ideas and have planned a new and innovative health and wellbeing at work programme.

We are now looking for partner organisations of different sizes and in different regions (London and Manchester in particular) to work with on this new programme for which we will support a joint bid seeking external funding from an already identified source. If you think your workplace needs some support to become a healthier and less stressful place, please talk to us.

Email us at denise@hampsonsolutions.co.uk and include the name of your organisation, approximate size of workforce (and whether staff are spread out across a number of sites or concentrated in one place) and just a little about the nature of the work that your organisation does.

New Dates for Psychology of Health Behaviour Workshops

We have three more dates for our highly successful Psychology of Health Behaviour Workshop before Christmas. We are also planning our 2010 workshop programme. The venues for the 2010 programme are still to be confirmed but the actual dates and regions are given below.

The workshop is a one-day tour of behavioural economics and what we can learn about its impact on health improvement behaviour. It's particularly relevant for Sport and Physical Activity Development Officers, Health Trainers, Smoking Cessation Specialists, Public Health Practitioners, Occupational Health Officers and anyone working to improve the health and wellbeing of others. Our delegates have included representatives from PCTs, local government, private sector and also the voluntary sector across a wide range of healthy living themes.

We explore the following questions:

Why do people make the choices that they do?
Why are people influenced by certain things, like brands, and peer pressure but still inclined to take risks on long term health behaviour?
What impact do beliefs and expectations have on service-user engagement?
Why do people procrastinate and put off things, even if they would they actually like to do them?
What impact does state of mind have on our decision making and how can we develop systems to help us stick to our resolutions.

Below are some quotes from our past delegates:

“A very useful and relevant course for those working with individuals on behavioural change, such as Health Trainers.” CHRIS BAGUMA, Health Promotion Manager, Brent PCT

“The course has made me re-think the way I approach my job... and the need to be more client centered.”
DAWN MITCHELL, Salford Community Leisure

“Non-stop, useful, life-changing ideas.” CHRISTINA JONES, Occupational Health Nurse, Kelloggs

“This workshop has made me look at my own practice and turn it on its head.” PAUL STENHOUSE, Newcastle PCT

“Great course with practical examples of ways to promote activities in a range of settings.” CHARLENE WILLIAMS, Physical Activity Coordinator, Bexley Care Trust
