Who we are and what we do
Elmbridge Borough Council's Leisure and Cultural Services Team manage the Exercise Referral Scheme. This scheme has been set up to help residents in and around Elmbridge to exercise in a safe and controlled environment. The team comprises the Health Development Officer and a team of exercise instructors.
What we need
We will collect information about you including your name, address, email, phone, emergency contact details, Doctor and relevant health issues. We will record these on our own paper or electronic forms which will be kept securely.
Your health professional will give you an exercise referral form, you contact our team who will discuss with you by phone, email or in person what form of exercise would best suit you. You will be asked for phone or email and health details. When you decide what form of exercise you would like to take part in you show your referral form to the instructor who will take notes and ask you details so that they can provide a safe and effective exercise programme for you. They will take an electronic copy of the referral form. You will keep the referral form for your own records.

Why we need it
