Q ACTIVE

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) launched the biggest hospital workplace fitness programme in the UK, serving more than 13,000 staff. The programme, called Q Active aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of staff and focused on removing barriers for participation in exercise for staff. The aim of the approach was to change the health culture of the organisation and staff of a large National Health Service (NHS) Trust to become a health promoting organisation where staff leads by example and is actively encouraged and empowered to make healthy choices at work.
