Most people would agree that physical activity is good for you; however, the majority of us don't do enough to improve our health and some of us don't do anything at all.

Available through your GP or Healthcare Professional, this programme aims to provide you with the support and advice you need to exercise safely and appropriately.  You will learn new skills such as how to listen to your body and exercise at a pace which is comfortable for your condition.

The Staying well Expert Patients Programme is a six-week course for anyone living with a long-term health condition.  Its aims are to help you take control of your health by learning new skills to manage your condition better on a daily basis.  Each session lasts for two and a half hours and is facilitated by trained tutors who are themselves living with a long-term condition.  The Staying Well programme complements existing health care programmes and treatments, empowering participants to be more informed and better able to develop partnerships with their medical practitioners.

Topics covered by the programme:

• Dealing with pain and extreme tiredness
• Coping with feelings of depression
• Relaxation techniques and exercise
• Healthy eating
• Communicating with family, friends and professionals
• Planning for the future

The Peer Support Group is open to anyone who has attended the Staying Well Programme.  The aim of the group is for course participants to continue meeting and supporting each other.  After completing the course it is very easy to feel lost and alone again, and to find it hard to remain motivated to continue with self-management techniques that you have developed.

The martial art of Tang Soo Do is relatively modern. However, its basis, the Korean art of Soo Bahk Do, dates back many centuries. 

Tang Soo Do is both a hard and soft style, deriving its hardness in part from Soo Bahk and its soft flowing movements from the northern Chinese system

Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan (a brotherhood and school of stopping inner and outer conflict and developing virtue according to the way of the worthy hand) is not a sport. Though it is not essentially competitive, it has great combat applications. It is a classical martial art, and its purpose is to develop every aspect of the self, in order to create a mature personality who totally integrates his intellect, body, emotions, and spirit. This total integration helps to create a person who is free from inner conflict and who can deal with the outside world in a mature, intelligent, forthright, and virtuous manner.

Sunday 3.30pm-5pm

The service offers appoitments and walk in clinics - all in the strictest confidence

TriHealth offers a confidential, non-judgemental service that is freely accessible to people of all ages.

The service is provided by Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust working in partnership with Nottinghamshire County Council. Within this service, we wish to provide personalised care in a friendly atmosphere, fully meeting the sexual health needs of each individual person.

What happens at our clinics?
We offer at all our clinics:

• Testing and treatment for sexual infections and genital problems
• All forms of contraception including emergency contraception
• HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C screening and Hepatitis B vaccination
• Care and support for people living with HIV
• Advice, support, and information about all sexual health concerns
• Free condoms
• Referral for psychosexual counselling.

We’re confidential

Information you discuss with us is strictly confidential. Your records are kept in the Sexual Health Department and your information would not normally be shared with any other hospital department or your GP without your knowledge.

We will not give your test results to anyone else without your permission. On the rare occasion that we do need to give information to a third party, we will always aim to tell you. The only reason we would do this is if we felt you or someone else were at risk of serious harm.

How long will you be in the clinic?

When you drop into the walk in clinic it may already be full to capacity which unfortunately means we may not be able to see you that day. You will be offered an appointment to attend another day. Any urgent cases will be assessed daily through a nurse triage system.

We do not fit or remove implants or coils in walk in clinics

If you have come to a ‘walk-in’ session, they can be very busy and you may be here for up to 2-3 hours. If you have come for an appointment, we aim to see you within half an hour of your given time. Seeing the doctor/nurse, having tests taken, and getting your results and treatment can take up to one hour.

Accessible transport can usually be provided by the scheme if necessary. All meals are freshly cooked on the premises and consist of three courses. Aimed at people over 60 who live in their own homes, to promote independent living.   …

NCC Customer Service Centre can arrange for the person you are caring for to have an assessment.
