Wellness for Life: Small Steps, Big Difference

We know that with busy lives and demanding roles, it can be hard to prioritise your own wellbeing. That’s why Wellness for Life is designed to fit into your day—not add to your workload. We’re here to help you make small, meaningful changes, one step at a time.

What is Wellness for Life?

A flexible and supportive programme designed to help colleagues build healthy habits and improve overall wellbeing. Through practical, bitesize sessions, we offer guidance and encouragement to make wellbeing achievable in your everyday life.

Your wellbeing isn’t optional—it’s essential

These sessions are being delivered by our team of Health and Wellbeing Facilitators whom have previous experience of running group based programmes of this type and have the knowledge to provide appropriate advice on the subject matters outlined.

We are also offering the opportunity to run a team-specific programme on request, in both virtual and on-site formats. These programmes will be subject to capacity.

Exclusion Criteria:

We want to make Wellness for Life as inclusive as possible to support with your goals.

However, as the Health and Wellbeing Facilitators are not registered dietitians or registered nutritionists, exclusion criteria have been put in place, to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our colleagues.

If you answer ‘yes’ to any of the below questions, we advise that you speak with your health care professional for further support.

  • Are you pregnant?
  • Are you currently undergoing treatment for cancer?
  • Do you have a history of eating disorders or disordered eating?
  • Are you currently receiving advice from a registered dietitian or nutritionist?

Whilst on the programme, if any information we give contradicts the information you have been given by your health care professional, we advise that you go with their advice. This is because it has been specifically tailored to your individual needs. The advice you will be given in Wellness for Life, is generic advice, which is suitable for most.

Any queries should be directed to wellbeinghub@merseycare.nhs.uk.
