WHAT THE PATIENT ON THE LILLY WELLNESS PLUS PROGRAMME WILL BENEFIT FROM FOR A FULL YEAR


The 'Lilly Wellness Plus' programme recognises the need to further educate and assist people suffering from psychiatric conditions, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, to live healthier lives. Virgin Life Care, who have a 6 year proven track record in health management services, delivers the programme for psychiatric practice.

What the patient on the Lilly Wellness Plus Programme benefits from:

  • A personalised eating programme to manage their weight
  • A personalised exercise programme that allows for exercise at home or in a gym
  • 3 months worth of weekly telephone coaching sessions with a dedicated biokineticist or dietician who acts as their personal wellness coach
  • The next 9 months is a maintenance programme, where the patient receives monthly calls from the coach to check progress and is encouraged to keep up good changes
  • Their wellness coach will assist them in setting and achieving their health goals
  • The wellness coach will track progress and make changes to the exercise or eating programme as needed
  • The patient will be given useful content and tips that will make the programme fun and easy to follow
  • In-bound telephonic support is available to patients from Monday to Friday between 08h00 and 17h00 on 0860 263 947
  • The patient can nominate someone close to them who will be kept up to speed on their progress, and who will serve as their home support
  • Quarterly progress reports will be sent to the referring psychiatrist
  • Virgin Life Care will immediately notify you, the referring psychiatrist, should any abnormal behaviour changes in the patient be suspected during the coaching sessions
