Parkrun
Testvale Surgery are proud to announce that we have successfully applied to become a Parkrun practice with a view to helping to improve the health and well-being of our staff.
What is parkrun?
- Free, weekly 5k events, every Saturday morning, in areas of open space
- 2k junior parkruns for 4-14 year olds and their families on Sunday mornings
- Over 1,000 locations across the UK
- Organised by local volunteer teams
- Walk, run, jog, volunteer or spectate – take part in any way that suits you
- Open to all, including those who are inactive or have health conditions or disabilities
- Opportunity to socialise, make friends and be part of a welcoming, supportive community
Involvement in this initiative will help us to:
- Improve the health and well-being of practice staff
- Improve the health and well-being of patients and carers:
- Help to reduce the need for lifelong medication;
- Raise awareness of services that we provide;
