Hi David, great to hear from you!! and some great leads there Ive actually
already passed onto our working group the lit search you did..so you have
already had a presence with us!!)
Very early days, but strong interest down here about exploring models (and
potential funding bases!!) around this issue, as still seems to be the gap
for GP's etc in terms of time to really take a client through to develop,
connect and monitor/ support programs to improve PA/ other lifestyle related
changes...will keep you posted and in mind, as you never know maybe an
opportunity for a trans bass strait research project!!!
Take care, and no doubt I will be back in contact with you!!

Hi Sue, David Menzies here ex Good Life Club and now the Active Script
Program how are you. I would suggest you talk to the people at West Vic
Division of General Practice http://www.westvicdiv.asn.au/ they have an
enabler model that assists people referred from a GP to access physical
activity opportunities and they are successfully integrating it into routine
care. I hope this is useful. I would be interested to talk to you further
about what you are doing in this area as we are investigating different ways
of providing this interface and building referral systems in relation to GPS
and physical activity.
Kind regards
David Menzies

Hi There,
Im interested in finding out more about exisiting programs or models where a
GP may be able to refer to a 'coach/ facilitator' to assist clients in
making lifestyle changes they may need to be making in relation to a chronic
condition etc. This persons role may be around assisting the client in
identifying their own goals and targets, and then helping develop, support
and encourage an individual program that would link and interconnect with
existing community facilties and programs where possible.
Any ideas/ leads etc around this would be mostly appreciated!
