About Arun Wellbeing

Arun Wellbeing is a completely FREE service for people who want to improve their health by making small lifestyle changes that are easy to maintain, such as eating more healthily, getting more active, stopping smoking, or reducing alcohol.

By making these kinds of lifestyle changes you can reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes and some preventable cancers.

Local NHS and social care services and information

The Wellbeing services do not provide healthcare or social care support or advice. For these services the following places can help:

Prevention Assessment Teams

Prevention Assessment Teams are made up of health advisers (nurses), social care staff and people from the voluntary sector. They aim to help people living locally to stay healthy and remain independent. Normally, they work with people who do not receive services from specialist health care teams or social care services.

They can work with you or your carer and undertake a holistic assessment of your household. This will help identify what support might be required to keep you or your carer independent and prevent or delay the need for more intensive services. They will help you get to the right services for you.

Contact your local Prevention Assessment Team if you think they may be able to help. 

NHS Website

The NHS website has lots of information about specific health conditions and services. You can also search for health services near you, such as GPs (family doctors), dentists, pharmacies and NHS walk-in centres. 

Healthwatch West Sussex

If you have been on the NHS website and can’t find the right information, try your local Healthwatch, which provides advice, information and help on health services available in our local area.

Visit the Healthwatch West Sussex website or email or call 0300 012 0122 (calls cost the same as to ’01’ and ’02’ numbers).
