GLL/ Better Health has partnered with NHS Northwest London to promote a health and wellbeing app to families called GRO HEALTH.

With a vision and ambition of addressing childhood obesity in NW London and combating long-term health issues or conditions stemming from an inactive or unhealthy lifestyle. We want to start by programming healthy behaviours from childhood and work with families to achieve a healthy future for generations to come.

Find out more on GRO HEALTH at: https://www.grohealth.com/ Through NHS NW London the app is available FREE to local families for 12 months from sign up. Eligibility for FREE registration is determined by at least one adult over 18 years old and at least one child between 5-18 years old living in the same household.

Registered users will have access to:

• Thousands of healthy recipes and meal plans; starting from £1.50 a meal and tailored specifically to dietary requirements and preferences.
• Workout videos; suitable for the whole family, from easy seated exercises through to more active
• Mindfulness activities

Please contact jiggy.trivedi-gardner@nhs.net or claire.olsen@napc.co.uk if you have any questions about the content or for further information.

The vaccine is free and offered to all children in the UK. 2 doses can give lifelong protection against: 

• measles
• mumps
• rubella.

These highly-infectious conditions can cause serious illnesses including pneumonia, meningitis and hearing loss. They can easily spread between unvaccinated people.

Any children in London who are not up to date with their routine vaccinations can get a catch-up dose via their GP to make sure that they are fully protected. 

If you believe your child is missing a vaccination and you don't want to wait, you can contact your local GP to book an appointment.
