Group Lifestyle & Wellbeing Consultations

Patients are invited to take part in a new programme of group consultations at the practice.

These sessions are designed to help improve heart and metabolic health — including blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes risk and weight. In typical GP appointments we are often time limited so do not get a decent amount of time to delve into the everyday things that can influence our health and how we feel. These sessions are designed to give us the necessary time that this really deserves.

What the programme involves

Three longer sessions led by Dr Jabbar, GP – working together to improve your health and blood test results
A nurse on hand to check your blood pressure and other measurements, reducing the need for extra follow-up appointments and saving you time
Learning about your body – understanding how it works when well, what happens in chronic disease, and how lifestyle changes can make a real difference in lowering your chances of heart attacks, stroke, cancer, diabetes , mental health and autoimmune diseases.
A physical health coach to support you with strength, balance and fitness to help you stay stronger for longer
Peer support – sharing experiences with others, which has been shown to dramatically improve health outcomes

Our aim

We want to help you feel healthier, stronger, and more confident in managing your wellbeing — and add years to life and life to years

Next steps

The sessions will be on the following dates:

7th November 2025
21st November 2025
19th December 2025

The session will run from 12-2pm at Vision Fitness, Millars One, Southmill Rd, Bishop’s Stortford, CM23 3DH.

There will be a waiting list for any patients who cannot attend these sessions.

If you would like to join the programme, please contact your GP surgery and we will be in touch with further details. Places are limited but given that you are motivated to make some positive changes you would be an ideal candidate for our first sessions.

I look forward to working with you.

Best wishes,

Dr Neema Jabbar
Church Street Surgery
