Health
Healthcare is not just about doctors and medicine it’s also about supportive and active communities. How can these work together?

	Healthy Communities Our partner organisation Timebanking Wales is developing a small pilot application with health providers in Tredegar, the home of Aneurin Bevan. This pilot is being developed with local GP Surgeries to target the most commonplace mental and physical health conditions in the area. Community members and patients earn credits for contributing towards active classes and support groups. These credits are then redeemable against leisure and health recreational activities and services. Healthy Communities Improved ability of patients to manage their health conditions Reduced levels of patient distress      Patients with common health conditions visit GPs less regularly Improved community wellbeing and health knowledge.
