    New Public Health Website

    Wednesday, 1 May 2024 09:00

    Leading a healthy life has just got a little easier, thanks to a new website launched by Somerset Council’s Public Health Team.

    The new site – healthysomerset.co.uk - is easy to use and features health and wellbeing resources tailored to all age groups, making it easier for users to find the information and support they need. 

    Free resources include nutrition tips, mental health support, and information on maintaining good health.

    Public Health in Somerset has many responsibilities from birth to death, protecting and improving the health and well-being of the local population.

    The new website breaks down services to represent the ages and stages of life from the ‘best start in life’ (0-5 yrs), through to ‘starting well’ (5-18 yrs), to ‘living well’ (18-65 yrs) and ‘ageing well’ (65+).

    The site also holds information for professionals, including the local Public Health training offered for staff working in the health and care sector.
