Active NoW provides a simplified method for healthcare professionals to refer patients who’d benefit from increased physical activity. The aim is to support inactive populations, those with identified long term conditions, and those that experience the greatest inequalities, to effectively access appropriate physical activity opportunities. Active NoW has 3 operational elements: Strategic Development: A work programme which embeds physical activity into pathways and commissioning to increase referrals and tackle health inequalities. One Point of Access: A single point of access for physical activity referrals for the health system delivered. Place-based Activity: A local place-based activity approach uses and builds on existing assets within the community.
