Health and Wellbeing Outreach Programme delivered by Undergraduate Learners

The Health and Wellbeing Outreach programme for undergraduate learners was funded by Health Education England (HEE). Universities in the North West of England were tasked with developing innovative ways their health and social care undergraduate students could
highlight issues around health and wellbeing in their local communities – particularly in school settings and offer an age appropriate health and wellbeing intervention.

Several North West universities took part, each developing different approaches:

• Health promotion in schools – engaging year 2 students with the local community (Lancaster University Medical School)
• All Learner’s Public Health Conference (Stockport NHS Foundation Trust)
• The Wellness Project (Manchester Metropolitan University - MMU)
• Peer-Education: Putting our healthcare future in their hands (University of Manchester)
• Helping you to help yourself (University of Chester)
