Health Exchange will provide a one-to-one assessment within six weeks of diagnosis and develop a personalised support plan. The programme will also provide education and self-management support to encourage sustainable lifestyle changes, followed by a review at six months to assess progress and outcomes.

The service will link individuals with local services across primary care, community provision and voluntary sector support. It will focus on engaging underserved populations and will operate across a range of community settings, including during evenings and weekends to maximise accessibility.
