Active Now enables health and care professionals to refer people for exercise and physical activity. A central co-ordination centre identifies suitable activity through a personalised triage service. The programme, which launched in January 2023, has since expanded to encompass those who are at risk of a fall. The aim is to : provide people with a range of activities, tailor a programme based on the level of mobility and need, and support people with their movement journey. Active Now is aimed at inactive people who do less than 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise each week. Any clinical or non-clinical professional working in the Norfolk and Waveney system can refer people into a falls-related activity.
