We want individuals in Gloucestershire to live in connected, resilient communities and have the knowledge, capability and opportunities to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
Our aim is to improve health and wellbeing by ensuring people have the resources and support that they need, increasing people’s control over their health and lives, and developing a system that focusses on prevention and reducing inequalities.
In order to reduce the impact of long-term conditions we need to re-focus attention on how people live their lives, the impact of social circumstances on health, our experiences and the opportunities we have to influence our own health.

The following services and guidance is available to help you make healthy choices:
