The Life Channel is coming to Worcestershire!

27 Jan 2009

Worcestershire PCT has built up an exciting partnership with The Life Channel satellite TV network in an effort to get key health and well-being messages across to patients in the area.

The 2007 Health Survey for England suggests that 1 in 4 adults in Worcestershire is a smoker, and almost as many are obese. Primarily, The Life Channel's innovative network gives doctors' surgeries the unique opportunity to communicate directly to people most affected by these vital health issues, as well as to promote awareness of other local needs.

"[Worcestershire] PCT is committed to providing more and better information to patients to help them look after their own health," said Richard Harling, Director of Public Health for Worcestershire PCT. "We have commissioned The Life Channel to help us do this."
