new patients the name of the group was changed to BARNSLEYHEALTH

It was agreed that all future meetings would be
held on the last Tuesday of the month at 12:00 noon in the Sprinters
bar with light refreshments provided from group funds.
The group
felt that more people would like to attend but thought that by
doing so they would be given ‘jobs’. It was stressed
during the meeting that no-one is under any pressure to take
on anything they do not wish to do, but that feed back from clients
was needed and welcomed by all to help improve and develop the
service.
It was agreed that an A.G.M. would be conducted each
year and widespread invitations given to ALL group patrons.
Once
the format of the group has been decided it was suggested that
speakers could be invited to attend meetings and maybe a representative
from the PCT to answer any questions and address any issues people
have. |
|
|
|
| |
Help is needed to raise the profile of the group. Peter
to attend ‘Heart 2 Heart’ event. The event to be given a
profile in the gym and registration forms made available for anyone
who may wish to attend. |
|
|
|
| |
During the last 12 months Colin reported that
takings had risen from around £250 a week to around £400 a week. Giving
the group a total fund of just under £24,000.
Peter stressed there
are no current plans to increase the cost of the sessions. |
|
|
|

Any suggestions for future events are welcome
from all. Put your suggestion forward please by using the
suggestion box provided or ask someone on the committee to present
it on your behalf.
During May, current clients are being sponsored to

There has been some confusion between the long term
exercise service and the exercise on prescription programme offered
in partnership with BPL, Barnsley PCT and GP’s.
Peter confirmed that to be eligible to attend people had to have gone through
formal Cardiac or Pulmonary rehabilitation, or be the partner of someone who
has completed but that they must have permission from their GP first. |
