The LGM patient pack is designed to support patients in their efforts to become more active and contains helpful hints, practical examples, simple visual tools and personal planning exercises (practitioners might also wish to use the resource to guide patients towards becoming more active).

The pack has templates for relevant local information on indoor and outdoor activity opportunities - instructions / example templates also attached.  These templates should be completed locally, printed and inserted into the LGM patient pack prior to distribution to service deliverers.

To assist with the completion of the attached indoor and outdoor activity templates, you can use the NHS Choices search tool below to help locate activities in your local area. Maps of local walking routes and green space are another supportive tool that can be included in the patient pack: these were very well received by patients in the LGM feasibility pilot.
