The delivery of health and wellbeing services is set to go under one roof in Hounslow.
One You Hounslow, as it will be known, will bring together services to help quit smoking, lose weight, and improve their diets through healthy eating and exercise from April 1.
The drive to encourage healthy living will be delivered by Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare NHS Trust and Hounslow council.

Councillor Ed Mayne, cabinet member for public health and leisure at Hounslow Council, said: “By having all of this under one service will improve co-ordination, make it easier and quicker for people to access information and increase cost-effectiveness.
“Our aim is to encourage as many of our residents as possible to make healthier lifestyle choices and this service will provide the assistance they need in doing that and as result, enjoy a better quality of life.”
