A guided programme of support with qualified health coaches helps participants to make small, sustainable changes to improve their health and wellbeing and live a longer, happier life.

Haringey GP Federation is commissioned by Haringey Council to deliver the One You Haringey programme which provides tools, motivational support and encouragement every step of the way.  This includes face-to-face support as well as a personalised mobile app.

Residents can also get involved in supporting their community to live healthier lifestyles through a health ambassador programme.

We have worked with and listened to Haringey residents to make sure that One You Haringey offers the targeted, personalised care and support they need to manage their health proactively and in ways that suit them best.

Haringey residents can access the service either by self-referral or by referral from a health care professional or community group via the website or via telephone at 020 8885 9095.
