Data Protection Bath and North East Somerset Council will store information given by yourself and your GP. This information will then be passed on to your chosen leisure provider or an officer within the Council’s Sport & Active Lifestyles Team. Your information will only be shared for the purposes of safe exercise prescription and eligibility for the service. More information will be collected from you for the purposes of project and exercise prescription evaluation. If you do not wish to have your information collected this may affect your participation in the programme. Following your exit from the programme (after 24 weeks), your personal information will be destroyed. If you should decide to take out a membership with a leisure provider you will be asked to complete new forms and this will be stored separately. This project is commissioned by NHS Bath & North East Somerset. As a requirement of the funding, anonymous data is sent to the NHS on a quarterly basis for monitoring purposes only.

Referral Pathway
Scheme Details Passport to Health is a well established referral scheme based in Bath & North East Somerset. It aims to help you take ownership of your health by encouraging you to participate in regular physical activity as a prescribed treatment alongside, or as an alternative to, any traditional medical approaches. The programme will inform you about what makes a healthy lifestyle and support you in making your lifestyle changes.
Referral to the scheme enables you to meet with our friendly referral consultants to discuss your health goals and develop an activity plan.
