Sandwell’s Health and Wellbeing Unit has launched a new number as a single point of contact for its healthy lifestyle services.
The 0800 number is staffed by officers trained to provide information and refer callers to specialist programmes such as cycling, walking, healthy eating and weight management.
The service will also give information on related services such as the Stop Smoking Service and welfare rights.
Head of the Unit, Alan Dean said: “By using one number we aim to make our lifestyle services more accessible to both local people and health and social care professionals. The new service will be of benefit to many people by providing even more direct and personal support.”
The Health and Wellbeing Unit brings together health and social care. It can be contacted on 0800 011 4656. Calls are free from landlines; costs to 0800 numbers from mobiles vary.
