We Are Undefeatable - Being active with long term health conditions
Live Longer Better in Hertfordshire Masterclass Webinar
Tuesday 14 June 2022
This event was a little different as we partnered with our colleagues running the This Girl Can in Herts campaign to
deliver a webinar focussed on the We Are Undefeatable campaign detailing the importance of physical activity for those living with long term health conditions.
We Are Undefeatable is a movement
supporting people with a range of long-term health conditions, developed by 15
leading health and social care charities and backed by expertise, insight and
significant National Lottery funding from Sport England. The campaign's purpose
is to support and encourage those living with long-term health conditions to
find ways to be active that suits them.
This webinar was hosted by Gail Curry from
the Richmond Group of Charities (the group of health and care charities whose
partnership started the campaign). Gail gives detail to the background
of the campaign and share information how you can get involved, as a
professional, a group or an individual.
Whilst the webinar has a general focus on women and girls, the content will be appropriate to generalise to all people living with long term health conditions and is open to everyone.
It's Never Too Late to be Active
Live Longer Better in Hertfordshire Masterclass Webinar
Thursday 14 April 2022
Delivered by Claudette Rhiney, Health Improvement Coordinator for Lifestyle within Hertfordshire Public Health, this webinar looked ahead ahead to the It's Never too Late to be Active campaign ahead of it's launch in May 2022.
The campaign aims to encourage and support inactive older adults, aged 55+, to become more physically active, in line with national physical activity guidelines. In particular the campaign will target individuals within this demographic having experienced significant physical deconditioning effects of COVID-19 as well as the associated lockdowns and restrictions.
It is a social media physical activity campaign, underpinned by physiological and behaviour change principles and this webinar will delve deeper into the rationale for its development, the insights informing it and behaviour change techniques that it is utilising.
Falls Prevention with HCPA StopFalls
Live Longer Better in Hertfordshire Masterclass Webinar
Friday 22 October 2021
Our second masterclass webinar was led by Verity Forbes from Hertfordshire's Care Providers Association StopFalls Service.
As we emerge further from the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions the importance of protecting our older adults from the dangers of falls is greater than ever. Within this webinar Verity discussed the theory that sits behind falls prevention, the importance of physical activity (along with some examples of good practice) and details some of the resources that are available to everyone in Hertfordshire to help protect against the dangers of falls.
Live Longer Better in Hertfordshire with Sir Muir Gray

Within his presentation Muir delves deeper into into the theory that underpins the national Live Longer Better movement and reflects on what we can all be doing as a network to improve the state of ageing on a local level.
