Step 1:
|
Visit your Doctor or Practice Nurse. If you know you have an
|
| |
appointment in the near future then this is a perfect time to ask |
| |
your Doctor or Practice Nurse to write a Green Prescription for |
| |
you. This script can be printed from this page and must have |
| |
a medical professionals signature on it. |
| Step 2: |
Ask your Doctor or Practice Nurse to fax your Green Prescription |
| |
to Sport Taranaki. |
| Step 3: |
Receive a phone call from Sport Taranaki's Healthy Living |
| |
Manager to discuss your Green Prescription and how you can |
| |
lead a more active lifestyle. You are most welcome to make the |
| |
first phone call to Sport Taranaki so don't be shy. As soon as |
| |
you get home phone 0800 ACTIVE (0800 228 483). |
| Step 4: |
Recevive a resource pack of information on how to start a |
| |
walking programme, join a gym or the pool plus information on |
| |
medical conditions and exercise. Also included is an Activity |
| |
Record Card. Put this on the fridge and record every time you |
| |
Push Play. This helps to motivate you and also records how |
| |
much more active you have become. |
| Step 5: |
Recieve two follow up calls from Sport Taranaki over the next 8 |
| |
weeks to check on how you are progressing with your |
| |
Green Prescription or if you require further information on |
| |
the activities available in Taranaki. |
| Step 6: |
Enjoy the benefits of a more active lifestyle! Encourage your |
| |
friends and family to join you and reap the rewards. |
