Our aim is to enhance the great care that staff are already providing to keep people fit and healthy for longer, and get everyone benefiting from the physical, mental and social benefits of being more active. We are here to help everyone working in health and social care, including both paid and voluntary roles, from GPs, nurses, and allied health professionals, to social care workers and befrienders. Read more about the ways we do this below.
Active Medicine (AMP) is a collaborative programme between the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, and Berkshire West Integrated Care System (ICS) members and the local Active Partnerships: Get Berkshire Active, Leap, and Active Oxfordshire. It's one of Sport England's Workforce Innovation Projects to test and learn locally, gaining funding for a 2-year period starting in October 2019. A further year of funding has been provided by Health Education England Thames Valley.
