The Life Channel is coming to Hillingdon

19 Jun 2009

NHS Hillingdon has entered into an exciting partnership with The Life Channel out-of-home television network in an effort to get key health and well-being messages across to patients in the area.

The Life Channel broadcasts health information into GP surgeries, giving patients something useful to watch whilst they are waiting for their appointment. This innovative network gives doctors' surgeries the unique opportunity to communicate directly to people most affected by vital health issues; promote awareness of local needs; and encourage behaviour change across a range of issues including healthier lifestyles and self-management of chronic conditions. The content is derived from NHS Hillingdon and national awareness campaigns and is delivered in a 'magazine' style.

"NHS Hillingdon is committed to improving the health of local people by supporting them to maximise their own health and wellbeing," said Yi Mien Koh, Chief Executive of NHS Hillingdon. "Healthier lifestyles really can make a big difference and enable people to have much longer, healthier lives. Working with The Life Channel to get these messages across to local people while they are accessing NHS services will be a key tool in helping us achieve this goal."
