Please can you tell me a little about
yourself?
In addition to being a Health Trainer, I am a
qualified Youth Worker, an Arsenal supporter and a
keen volunteer.
What attracted you to the Health Trainer
Role?
It is community based and the service is located
in many different settings around Haringey. I
have always liked outreach work and learning
new things, so the Health Trainer role was a new
challenge. It involves supporting local people on
a one-to-one basis to help them to make healthier
lifestyle choices.
How long have you worked for the service?
I’ve been here since 2010 — 5 years!
What skills/experience did you bring to the
post?
I am self-motivated, flexible and a good listener.
My previous experience set me in good stead
for the Health Trainer role. I was a leader of the
volunteering group for Rescue of Dignity (ROD),
a service that writes to imprisoned inmates to
empower and support them and their families. I
also worked as a volunteer for the Help Desk at
Camberwell Magistrates Court, and worked for
the Howard League for Penal Reform, a charity
campaigning for lesser sentencing for young
people.
Please can you tell me about a success
story of a client you have helped to change
their behaviour that sticks out in your mind?
A previous female client accessed the service for
support around losing weight as she had tried to
lose weight in the past but was not successful.
When we had our last session, she told me, frankly
speaking, that she was not impressed when she
saw me for the first time. She thought to herself
‘this man is incapable of giving me support, what
can he offer me that is new?’ However, with regular
monthly meetings with me and weekly sessions
with Weight Watchers, she achieved her weight
loss target of two stones. She was approached by
Weight Watchers and is now a Weight Watchers
Consultant.
Meet a Health Trainer
What aspects of the role do you enjoy the
most and what do you find most rewarding?
Everything! From when the client first sets their
goal, through to when they achieve them. Even
when clients do not reach their goals, the time
spent together, I think, is still beneficial to them,
because they have gained a better understanding
of the benefits of adopting a healthier lifestyle and
how to make these changes.
Anthony Hardley
(Health Trainer)
Even the smallest
of changes are
beneficial and
to be a part of that is
amazing.

Haringey Health Champions
Health Champions are local people who are trained
and supported to promote healthy living in the
community. They are effective in reaching Haringey
residents and make a real difference locally. The
Health Champion role involves motivating and
empowering people to adopt positive lifestyle
changes such as sensible drinking, healthy eating,
being regularly active and stopping smoking. They
also raise awareness about diabetes and cancer
prevention. When appropriate, Health Champions
signpost people interested in making healthier
lifestyle choices to local health services such as the
Health Trainer, NHS Health Check, Stop Smoking,
leisure, drugs, alcohol and mental health services
for further support.
Health Champions have a strong local presence
and conduct outreach activities in a range of
settings, such as community centres, faith groups,
GP surgeries, libraries, shopping malls and at a
range of local events, including festivals, health/
employment fairs and at community-based NHS
Health Check events.
The Health Champion programme started in
January 2012. Through volunteering, Health
Champions have gained qualifications, skills and
experience which has enabled many to move into
further education, paid employment, eg. as Health
Trainers and other volunteering activities.
All Health Champions hold the Royal Society for
Public Health Level 2 award in ‘Understanding
Health Improvement’ and are provided with regular
supervision and ongoing training to support them
in their outreach activities. Training provided
includes the following: alcohol and diabetes
awareness, cancer prevention, mental health,
smoking cessation, healthy eating and physical
activity.
Cheryl West
(Senior Health Champion)
How to become a Health Champion
We are looking for more volunteer Health Champions to join our Team.
No formal qualifications are required, but a good local knowledge of
the area would be beneficial.
Health Champions receive free training to support them in their role, in
addition to regular supervision.
The role of a Health Champion is to raise awareness in the community
providing health information and signposting Haringey residents to
local health services to help them to make lifestyle changes.
Health Champions work in a range of community settings on a regular
basis. They volunteer in GP surgeries, libraries,
community centres, shopping malls, in addition to
supporting a range of local events. It is an exciting
opportunity to get to know the local community,
meet people, gain new skills, qualifications and
work experience.

Health Champion, please call 0208 379 5844 or

Men’s Health in Haringey
On average women live longer than men and
there are many complex reasons for this. The
health behaviours and beliefs of men have been
connected to differences in health seen between
men and women. For example, men generally
tend to be reluctant to use health services and
are less likely to visit their GP when ill. They also
have a tendency to present at the later stages of
illness and are less
likely than women to
present with concerns
about mental health.
Everyone can improve
their health and well-
being by making
small changes to their
lifestyle! Men’s health
in Haringey could be
greatly improved if

Nigel lives in Haringey and has been a Health
Champion for over a year and was made a Senior
Health Champion in May 2014. After experiencing
ill-health and being unable to return to work in
the catering industry he volunteered to become
a Haringey Health Champion. To enable Nigel
to carry out his role he has gained numerous
vocational qualifications and has undertaken
various training, including Understanding Health
Improvement, Encouraging Physical Activity,
Understanding Behaviour Change, Healthy Hearts
and Smoking Cessation. He promotes health
across Haringey in a range of settings, including
job centres, Morrisons and Tesco supermarket, the
local college and within local gyms.
Nigel’s story
In December 2010, I had a cold. That wasn’t
unusual. I worked in a hot kitchen. But this one
just lingered on and eventually I went to the
pharmacist to get some cough mixture. I don’t
know what it was, perhaps it was the way I looked;
she asked me when I’d last seen a doctor. I said
‘about 20 years ago’. She told me I’d better go.
I went to see the GP the next day. I don’t know
why. Normally I wouldn’t have bothered. The GP
said he didn’t like the look of my blood tests. I went
for repeat tests the same day and he called me
that evening. That got me worried. Doctors don’t
normally call you in the evening.
I went back. My blood pressure was sky high. My
creatinine count, a test that shows kidney function,
was over 1,000. The usual level apparently is 100-
120. The GP said ‘I think you’ve got chronic kidney
failure and to be honest I don’t think you’ll last over
Christmas.’ He phoned the Royal Free Hospital,
gave me a note and I went. The hospital told me
to send my friend home because I wasn’t going
anywhere.
The next morning I saw the renal and kidney
consultant. She told me that without intervention
I had about a week to live. I still couldn’t believe
it. I didn’t think I had any symptoms. I was a bit
breathless but thought that was the cold.
They got my blood pressure down and over the
new year, I was put on a dialysis machine. I learned
how to do the dialysis at home. I was on dialysis
for 18 months - 13 and a half hours a night. I felt so
much better on dialysis that it made me realise just
how tired and run down I had been before.
Health Champion Story “A pharmacist saved my life”
My kidney failure was caused by high blood
pressure and the fact that my kidneys were small
to begin with. I’d had a terrible lifestyle - smoking,
drinking, eating rubbish and working 90 hours a
week.
After a couple of false alarms, in February 2012 I
got a call saying they had a live kidney donor for
me. I felt fantastic immediately after the transplant.
Now it’s still going well. I have a few side-effects
from the medication but they’re not uncommon. I’m
a very lucky man. I met the right people at the right
time. I’ve had a lot out of the NHS and this (being a
Health Champion) is my chance to give something
back. Now my thing is to get people to look at their
lifestyles. They call kidney disease the silent killer
but it’s not the only thing that can creep up on you.
That pharmacist saved my life.

What are the current recommendations for
adults?
Adults should
aim to be active
daily. Over a week,
activity should
add up to at least
150 minutes (2½
hours) of moderate
intensity activity in
bouts of 10 minutes
or more. One way
to approach this is to do 30 minutes on at least 5
days a week. Moderate-intensity activity will raise
your heart rate and make you breathe faster and
feel warmer – you can talk, but you cannot sing!
Alternatively, comparable benefits can be achieved
through 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity
spread across the week or combinations of
moderate and vigorous intensity activity. Vigorous-
intensity activity will make you breathe harder and
faster and will increase your heart rate quite a bit.
You will not be able to say more than a few words
without having to pause for a breath.
Adults should also undertake physical activity to
improve muscle strength on at least two days a
week. All adults should minimise the amount of
time spent being sedentary (sitting) for extended
periods.
In addition, older adults (65+) who participate in
any amount of physical activity gain some health
benefits, including maintenance of good physical
and cognitive function. Some physical activity
is better than none, and more physical activity
provides greater health benefits.
Older adults at risk of falls should incorporate
physical activity to improve balance and co-
ordination on at least two days a week, e.g., yoga
or tai chi.
Examples of moderate intensity physical
activity include:
• Brisk walking
• Cycling
• Ballroom dancing (older adults)
Examples of vigorous intensity physical
activity include:
• Running
• Sports such as swimming or football
• Climbing stairs (older adults)
Physical Activity Update Examples of physical activity that
strengthen muscles include:
• Exercising with weights
• Carrying or moving heavy loads such as
groceries
• Chair aerobics (older adults)
