The Richmond Group of Charities has published Millions more moving, a report informed by lived experience insights on how national policymakers can tackle inactivity by supporting people with long-term conditions to move more. It sets out three ‘shifts’ in the policy landscape that will help maximise the role of movement in health.
Eighteen months into our role as a Sport England system partner, we have taken the opportunity to reflect on the progress in our work to influence the systems that could enable more people with health conditions to be active, helping them to tackle the barriers that currently exist.
Executive summary of One in four: A manifesto for people with multiple health conditions. This summary highlights what isn't working for people living with multiple long-term conditions, why it is so important to focus on this group of people, and our recommendations for government and national system leaders
The Richmond Group of Charities represents more that 15 million people living with long-term health conditions and, as our population ages, this number is set to grow. One in four of us are now living with at least two health conditions. We think getting it right more people with multiple health conditions holds the key to a stronger NHS. This manifesto demonstrates why the current system doesn’t work for people living with multiple health conditions, and what a better system could look like. It outlines the three main actions needed from government and national system leaders to secure the fundamental shift in approach: 1) support for people with multiple health conditions to live well 2) a drive towards the redesign of multiple conditions care 3) promotion of health in all policies.
