Personal Agility

We are trialling an intervention called Personal-Agility which aims to:

• help people to understand and track their health, wellbeing and 24-hour behaviours (physical activity, sleep and sitting time)
• support people to improve the 24-hour behaviours that matter most to them, in partnership with our team.
• Help people access activities, groups support and services in their local communities

We are looking for people over 18 who have two or more long-term conditions and are living with frailty.

For more information follow the link below:
