Some of the programmes that Leicestershire County Council offers to help you make healthier choices for you and your family are:

  • Public mental health and wellbeing
  • Get active
  • Eating well
  • Healthy weight
  • Sexual health
  • Smoking, Drugs and Alcohol
  • Dental Health
  • Seasonal Health
  • Health Check and advice

 

By operating from County Hall, the Public Health team has the opportunity to link up with the other Council work that affects health such as social care, transport and libraries.

 

The Director of Public Health also ensures that broader plans are in place to protect the health of the population and for this, the Public Health team works closely with NHS colleagues, particularly CCGs, to provide advice and ensure local health services closely match the health needs of local people.
