Active Practice Champion
My name is Jo Fordham and I am one of the the Active Practice Champions. I started my role as a Health Connector at Frome Medical Practice in 2015, promoted to Senior Health Connector in 2019.
I am passionate for exercise and healthy eating to be accessible for all. Since being at the practice I have run exercise sessions for patients and staff. This includes the Couch to 5k, Run, Walk and Talk and Escape pain, a self management and exercise programme for people who have osteoarthritis of the knee/hip.
As a Health Connector my role is to help people to make positive healthy lifestyle changes through working 1:1 or in groups.
