Supporting Primary Care to Improve Health Outcomes
Lifestyle Behaviour Change Referral Service
Vision Health provides a structured lifestyle behaviour change service designed to support NHS Primary Care, General Practice and other healthcare providers in helping patients improve their long-term health outcomes.
We recognise that sustainable improvements in health rarely result from a single consultation. Lasting behaviour change requires personalised support, regular monitoring, professional coaching and measurable progress over time.
Our referral service complements existing NHS care by providing patients with ongoing health coaching, structured exercise support and digital monitoring between clinical appointments.

Flexible Referral Pathways
Referral programmes are designed around clinical need and can be adapted for different patient groups and referral pathways.
Whilst programmes can vary in duration, we typically recommend a minimum five-week intervention incorporating at least five coaching or personal trainer sessions to allow sufficient time for meaningful behaviour change and measurable progress.
Longer programmes can be delivered where clinically appropriate.
Measuring Outcomes
Throughout the programme, patient progress is monitored using objective health measurements together with functional and lifestyle assessments.
Where appropriate, referring clinicians receive summary outcome reports detailing baseline measures, progress throughout the intervention and end-of-programme results.
Real-Time Service Transparency
Vision Health provides secure reporting dashboards for authorised NHS users.
Referring organisations can monitor referral activity, patient engagement, programme completion and outcome measures through the Vision Health Portal, supporting governance, service evaluation and continuous improvement.

Medical-Grade Full Body Composition Analysis
For organisations requiring more detailed health assessments, Vision Health offers optional medical-grade body composition analysis using InBody technology.
Unlike traditional weight or BMI measurements, InBody provides a comprehensive picture of an individual's body composition, helping coaches and healthcare professionals monitor meaningful changes throughout the programme.
Assessments may include:
Body composition analysis
Skeletal muscle mass
Body fat percentage
Visceral fat assessment
Segmental muscle analysis
Body water balance
Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
Weight and BMI
Progress tracking through repeat assessments
These objective measurements can support personalised coaching, patient motivation and outcome monitoring, providing valuable insights beyond body weight alone.
