Bert concentrates on his stopping smoking and increasing his activity. His increased social interests benefit his mental health and he begins to address other areas of his life, including diet.
He continues to be supported within the practice but is in control of his choices and future health.
Because Bert is maintaining his lifestyle changes, together with his medication, he is managing his cardiovascular disease risk.
Picture of Bert with thoughts:
- I’m so glad I stopped smoking … I’ve got more energy to run around with the grandchildren and more money to treat them.
- I really feel cared for by my GP practice. I feel they are working with me and it is not as hard as I thought it would be.
- I’ve joined a walking group and I feel fitter and have met new friends
