Bit by bit, little by little, you can achieve your goal. Make today the day you start your journey to better health.
Excess weight makes it harder to fight off nasty illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, and now coronavirus. Coronavirus hasn’t gone anywhere; it’s set to keep interrupting our lives.
If you’re living with obesity, coronavirus could mean that you’re twice as likely to be hospitalised. Extra weight means extra pressure on your body. Reduce your weight to reduce your risk. Eating well and moving more will change your future. A healthy BMI is between 18 and 25. What’s yours? Find out now with LiveWell Dorset’s free lifestyle assessment.

Dementia Support
| DCAN (Dementia Change Action Network) is an open, collaborative network that uses the power of network to tackle key challenges for people with dementia.
Today they have launched the Next Steps website to support people who are waiting for a memory assessment appointment and would really appreciate your help in sharing it to make sure it reaches the people who need it.
Who is the Next Steps for? • The Next Steps website is for anyone waiting for a memory assessment appointment as well as carers, family members and organisations who support them. • A link to this website could be given to people by their GP at the same time that a referral to a memory clinic is made; or be included on an appointment letter from a memory clinic.
What is the aim of Next Steps? Next Steps will help people to find the right support, at the right time, while waiting for a memory assessment appointment. It is divided into four key steps: Step 1: What to expect from the memory assessment process Step 2: Taking care of your well-being Step 3: Exploring available support Step 4: Diagnosis |
