  3. “Five Ways to Wellbeing” • This presentation is one of three resources that have been developed in Devon and can be used to promote the “Five Ways to Wellbeing” • These include: • Taking steps to living well. A personal guide to the Five Ways to Wellbeing • Report from our pilot project – “Five Ways to Wellbeing: how do you get the message across” • Contacts for these resources will be given at the end of the presentation

  4. Aim of this presentation • To introduce and explain the “Five Ways to Wellbeing” • To encourage open discussion and engagement particularly when used alongside the personal guide booklet • To learn something of value to use for yourself, your family and friends and your patients

  5. Background of “Five Ways to Wellbeing” • There has been longstanding concern and interest in promoting public health. • Some progress has been made on physical health promotions – diet, exercise, smoking cessation as well as the ‘5 a day’ for physical health being in the public consciousness. • But how do you promote mental health and wellbeing? What do you say? Could there be a ‘5 a day’ for mental health?

  6. Background of “Five Ways to Wellbeing” • The Government Office of Science commissioned the new economics foundation (nef) to conduct a comprehensive review of what people could do that promote their mental health and wellbeing i.e. evidence-based actions or behaviours. • Guidance on ‘The 5 ways to wellbeing’ was developed and published in the Foresight report on Mental Capital and Wellbeing (2008)1 but there was little follow up or work on ‘getting the message across’. • The Boorman review of wellbeing in the NHS workforce (2009), illustrated both grounds for concern and the importance of adopting a proactive stance towards the health and wellbeing of health care workers. 1. www.bis.gov.uk/assets/bispartners/foresight/docs/mentalcapital/mentalcapitalwellbeingexecsum.pdf
