Shaping LiveWell Dorset into a service that’s relevant, helpful and valued by you is important to us. We want to hear your thoughts, gather your feedback and invite you to play an active role in establishing how we deliver our support. Any adult resident of Dorset is welcome to join, whether you have or haven't yet used our services.

What does it involve?

From completing a survey to attending a group workshop, or having a discussion with a member of our team, you’ll be invited to share your thoughts and ideas at various opportunities.

Joining the Forum doesn’t commit you to anything specific. You'll be able to say yes or no, or opt-out if you find it’s not for you. It's a voluntary commitment and up to you how much time you’re able to offer. For face-to-face meetings, we'll cover reasonable travel costs and provide refreshments!

What difference will it make?

Here at LiveWell, we care about making a difference and helping the people of Dorset to live healthier, happier lives. We've supported nearly 30,000 people to make positive changes and want to help tens of thousands more. We're always looking for ways to improve and we know that you - the people of Dorset – can help make that happen.

We need input from local people so we can make sure our service is suitable for everyone who might benefit from it. Joining the Forum is a great way to get your voice heard and help make LiveWell the best it can be.

How long will I be part of the Forum?

We will refresh our Forum membership regularly to make sure we are getting feedback from different people over time. You can request to leave the forum at any time.

If you'd like to know more, please contact Lauren.

How does this work?

The tailored approach LiveWell Dorset uses to come up with solutions to the things that are stopping us achieving our goals, is based upon work done by University College London developing the COM-B model of behaviour change. In this model, all behaviour is influenced by understanding a person’s capability to change, their opportunity to change and their motivation to change. By understanding which of these is the biggest barrier to change, we can tailor support accordingly. This model of behaviour change is at the centre of the support we offer, online and in person.

Do you provide your consent to share your information with the LiveWell Dorset team – part of Public Health Dorset ?

When you register with LiveWell Dorset, we ask you some questions about you and your health (how much you smoke, how active you are, how much you drink and how much you weigh). We store that information and use it to shape our service offer to you – such as the advice we give or the extra services we connect you to. The only people who will see this information will be those involved in the delivery of the service and management of the data. If you would like to use extra services (such as slimming clubs and pharmacies) we have to share this information with them. For us to be able to put you in touch with these services, we must have your consent to share that information with the service (we’ll ask for that later, when if you sign up for extra services).

Before we can sign you up any further, we need to know:

  • You're happy for your personal information to be shared with LiveWell Dorset.
  • You understand what information may be shared and why, and that at times, our contact to you may be supported by technology partners, who have the same data protection standards and safeguards as we do
  • You acknowledge that you can withdraw your consent at any time by informing LiveWell Dorset.
  • You understand that if you do not give consent or withdraw consent then it could be difficult for us to connect you some of the services we offer.

If you require any more information to help you make your choice then please contact the LiveWell Dorset team on 0800 840 1628. All telephone conversations at LiveWell Dorset are recorded for quality and training purposes, and stored whilst you are registered as active within the service.
