Parallel Session: A Little Exercise a Day Keeps the Doctor AwayNHSScotlandEvent2013
You’ve probably heard the old saying ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’. Well, did you know that even a little light daily exercise actually keeps the doctor away? Not even our fickle weather or the midges can deter ill-health from visiting Scots earlier than in any other western European country. As a result we now must think and act differently, learning to create health alongside treating disease. This session offers clear solutions and an opportunity for all to get involved in the drive to achieve a more active and healthier Scotland. Delegates were invited to be the catalyst for change – by spreading the physical activity message throughout their work settings, by becoming more active themselves and by encouraging their families and friends to get active.

Physical inactivity is linked to certain cancers, with approximately 1% of UK cancers each year directly attributed to inactivity. Regular physical activity reduces cancer risk through various mechanisms like reducing inflammation and hormone levels. Government guidelines recommend a minimum of 2.5 hours of moderate activity per week. Physical activity also benefits cancer patients and survivors by reducing tiredness and improving well-being and quality of life. Cancer Research UK aims to address preventable cancers through research, fellowships, and public information on the role of physical activity in cancer prevention and survivorship.

This document summarizes research on promoting physical activity. It finds that:
1) Simply communicating health risks is not effective at changing behavior, but combining risk information with strategies to improve self-efficacy and response efficacy can have larger effects.
2) Brief interventions that focus on goal setting, action planning, and overcoming barriers can successfully increase walking levels.
3) Techniques shown to improve both self-efficacy and physical activity include action planning, reinforcing progress, instruction, and graded tasks.
4) Older adults want physical activity experiences that are enjoyable, social, and allow improvements in function at their own pace without pressure. Satisfaction and self-efficacy predict long-term

Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

With #coronavirus outbreak more people are social distancing / working from home. It is still important to look after your own health, eat well, hydrate well and move more
As an employer of homeworkers, you are responsible for any equipment supplied to workers. For higher risk activities like working with adhesives, you must conduct risk assessments and ensure workers have proper protective equipment. The Health and Safety Executive website provides guidance on risk assessments, equipment requirements, and enforcing safety policies. If additional help is needed, employers can consult trade organizations or the Health and Safety Executive directly.

The document discusses the importance of health and wellbeing in the workplace. It describes the Northamptonshire approach which delivers programs directly from public health and brings together a wider offer of options. These include healthy workplace standards, guidance to make sense of different programs and frameworks, and recognizing good practices through rewards and pledges.
This document summarizes the key findings and recommendations from a UK-wide review on factors impacting the mental health and wellbeing of medical students and doctors. The executive summary highlights that:
1) Patient safety depends on doctors' wellbeing, as workplace stress can negatively impact the quality of care for patients as well as doctors' own health.
2) The review approached the issue by examining autonomy, belonging, and competence as the core needs of doctors.
3) Immediate steps are needed to address doctors' wellbeing, along with a call to action for health organizations to implement the review's recommendations to transform healthcare environments and better support doctors and medical students.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

greater supported self-
management, innovative and
integrated service provision,
prevention and moving more in our
pathways
• Deliver community-located services
for multiple specialities
• Establish joint clinics and co-located
working to provide one-stop clinical
care closer to patients’ homes,
shorten pathways and improve
experience
15. NCSEM Capital infrastructure
NCSEM capital investment establish
an innovative model to;
•co-locate patients, clinicians,
researchers, sport and exercise
medicine specialists and public health
professionals across the City
•create community facilities to extend
the reach of Sport and Exercise
Medicine that include; research,
recreation, rehabilitation and
education.
•32 clinical rooms, 35,000 NHS
appointments per year
19. NCSEM Hub - Graves

Editor's Notes
Intro: Dr Gareth Jones Sheffield Hallam University – My back ground started off in sport and exercise science, specialising in psychology, and has now lead me to PA and exercise promotion within the general population
NCSEM – Olympic Legacy Project
Inspire regeneration from Physical inactivity kills more people than obesity
In the UK the message around obesity is well known but perhaps less well know is the concept of how much we move is more important than our waist line and the PA is a key variable for public health
DoH – put out a commission, asking cities to group together to become a key partner of the NCSEM
Sheffield was successful, along with east midlands and London
Challenged us for world class research + provide services for long term systematic change to benefit the health of the nation
Olympic Legacy programme to improve health of nation through physical activity
3 national partners - London, East Midlands & Sheffield
Linked to Olympic legacy cabinet committee
Public Health England
£30 million capital investment nationally
£10 million capital in Sheffield
Opportunity to have national and international impact.
When the three centres come together, known as National Centre England
5 Key Priorities…
Sheffield - Focus on population health – how can we improve the health of our city through PA
Whole system approach, involving 12 different partners from the NHS, two universities, private, public, leisure sectors, voluntary, local authority and the English Institute of Sport
And the way we want to achieve this – the mission – to be active as part of every day life, regardless of where they work, or attend school
Underpinned the work through this framework – socio-ecological model
Individual exist within a system – so their perceived or actual environment / the settings in which they live, e.g. the walk ability or cycle ability in their neighbourhood, and the policy environment in which they exist
Either make it easier or more difficult to be physically active
Looked at this system in Sheffield
Tried to develop a plan to help people be more physically active
Move More is underpinned by this, amongst other theories such as Self-Determination Theory (SDT), we are in no way limited by this, however use this as a driver to steer the framework
And ours in the Move More Plan – identifies 6 main areas of work
List
And I am going to take you through a couple of these to give you a flavour of the work we are doing here in Sheffield
First – Activity as Medicine
Shef awarded foundation status as part of the National Centre
And to kick start the National Centre, we were given £10m in capital money to build a building
Looked to do this on the University grounds, and explored options here – but is this the best way for culture change?
We thought we need to think differently in how we deliver models of care, particularly relating to our colleagues at the NHS
So we reviewed various documents and evidence that influenced our thinking, one in particular NHS 5 year forward view
Rational in spending this £10m, was to develop a new way of thinking for how we develop a new vision for NHS services
Promote greater self management, and integrate services more effectively
Deliver community located services for multiple of specialties
Co-located clinical care closer to patients home and improve experience for patients and professionals
Built 3 facilities across Sheffield – co-location & linking leisure facilities and clinical practice
These community facilities extend the research of the work we are doing in rehabilitation and sport and exercise medicine
3 of the most challenging areas where there is the greatest areas of health inequality, and these 3 areas include Graves, Concord and Thorncliffe
Gyms
Dance studios
Swimming pools
Created a hub, a central atrium where everyone mixes together, so whether you were a patient or a swimmer, everyone gets on the same bus home, so everyone mixes and are not segregated facility
In this diagram you can see the clinician rooms just off the main atrium in orange in the top left, which are just opposite the swimming pool, dance studios, changing areas and tennis courts
Upstairs, you can see the gym areas in red, and then the orange space is the research area, where there are biomechanics and physiology labs and space for a X-Ray machine
… read slide, list a couple.
Then
Graves is in the south where we no there are high health inequalities
Thorncliffe is in the North of the city
6 clinical rooms, with similar clinical services
Concord is our hub in the city centre.
Whats interesting is that the other two facilities were new, whereas Concord is an existing facility, where we converted a disused football changing rooms
A brand new clinical facility to house 7 clinical rooms
And clinical staff at Concord
In any typical week …..
35-40,000 clinical appointments a year in primary and secondary care services that were historically delivered in a hospital context. These are now delivered in a leisure facility rather than your typical hospital environment context, where the conversation around PA is more likely to come up and makes more sense in this context
Our hypothesis that we are interested in; so does this co-location of an environment that promotes PA within a clinical setting make it easier for PA to become part of the NHS core treatment.
Starting to see some benefits already
Professionals assessing patients by using gym equipment like treadmills to assess their gate …
Or holding back rehab classes
Gives patients a different perspective on what medicine is
Even had examples where athletes have used the facilities, particularly gate analysis in the gym to alter their course of treatment to very positive effect
We want to understand the total impact of this – there is a PhD starting around now to understand the health, social, organisational and economical impact of the model
Particularly exciting as this is co-funded by UK Active who are looking at a £1bn regeneration scheme to transform UK’s leisure centres into co-location centres of health and leisure – we are at the for-front of exploring the potential impact of this model
We then come to Active People and Families
Builds on the evidence base
7 best investments to explore to increase PA at a population level
One of those is community wide programs - we need to mobilise large numbers of people in we want to create a culture of physical activity
Info graphic published by the International Society for Physical Activity and Health, off the back of a paper by Global Advocacy for PA, states that for a whole community approach, to really increase engagement, we need to target people where they live, where they work, and that this has real potential for mobilising whole populations.
So that is what we’ve tried to do in Sheffield
Developed our very own Move More Challenge
Simply whole month, this year in June, last year in July, Invite a whole city to be physically active, try something new, invite a colleague, engage with the local providers and their offerings, to take part in a PA challenge
Monitor impact of this through the Move More App which is free to download which monitors your PA levels, or sync their own devices such as fitbit or strava
Then engage in a host of different challenges such as the Workplace Challenge or the Steel City Derby which is pitting the two football clubs against one another, where the fans activity equals goals, the more active their fans are the more goals they score for their team
We have also provided hundreds of different activities for people to get active and involved in, this is the brochure which showed people how and when and where, and what different types of activity there is to get involved in
We’ve designed a workplace challenge where companies set up teams of up to 10 people and their steps and movement create medals and medal tables to compete against the other organisations across Sheffield
Last year we had over 3000 people engage in the Work Place Challenge from 23 organisations, this year we were just shy of 100 organisations
In Schools we have developed the Schoolyard Challenge using Near Field Communication (NFC) technology
Pupils receive wrist bands and the schools are littered with beacons, which when touched by a wrist band – upload a live tag format against that child – so schools, classes, and pupils can compete on total number of tags.
Really exciting is that teachers and schools can use this information and its display to implement activity into their curriculum – creating active lessons.
As a city last year we clocked up 6.5 million minutes and we had some great numbers in terms of people taking part
This year we clocked up 8.3 millions minutes, so we are heading the in right direction.
We had more schools and more organisations involved too.
Key points of interest, graph in top right
Users by post code – mainly affluent areas, but other less affluent areas did also engage
Our task is to engage more of these people – using better forms of marketing such as news papers etc.
Our Move More App has been translated into a national campaign called Active 10, which is part of Public Health England One You campaign
The Move More App that we developed is the engine behind this application campaign, and encourages brisk walking for 10 minute bouts per day.
We’ve had over 50.000 downloads and this helps gather data and to understand how, where and when people are moving, and more importantly, what's the impact of our interventions.
Lastly, highlight a new development for Sheffield
Olympic Legacy Park and Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre that is being developed in conjunction with the NCSEM
The AWRC is a new facility that is owned by SHU and will house a technology and innovation unit
To design new innovation and programs to help increase PA
Link the industry and businesses to help use tech to motivate people to be more active
Then translate these learning's through the NCSEM and the International Olympic Committee to bolster the impact of population PA in Sheffield.
Really excited about opportunities in Sheffield to influence population level PA levels
Many thanks for your attention and to be given the opportunity to briefly outline what we are doing in regard to behaviour change on a population level in Sheffield.
Here are my contact details, feel free to get in contact after today if you would like to hear more.
