Services and support to help people in Trafford live a healthier life

There are services to help people quit smoking, achieve a healthier weight, be more physically active, better manage drug or alcohol problems, and deal with emotional and mental health problems. This support can be self-help using websites and online tools, telephone help lines and face-to-face meetings. 

The national One You website provides motivational support to change to a more healthy lifestyle, including information, advice and apps.

Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA)

The PNA is a report of the present needs for pharmaceutical services. It is used to identify any gaps in current services or improvements that could be made in future pharmaceutical service provision.

Every Health and Wellbeing Board in England has a statutory responsibility to publish a PNA, every three years.
