What is Active Wait?
Active Wait is a 12-week programme designed to provide you with the knowledge, skills, confidence and support you’ll need to manage your health and prepare for surgery.
Each week covers a new topic, which is delivered by your local health care professionals to give you the best possible support and advice.
Topics covered include ‘’managing your pain’’, ‘’importance of strength’’, ‘’eating well and managing weight’’ and ‘‘keeping your independence’’, with many more.
Each week also includes a tailor made, follow-along strength exercise routine to help you be strong and move well, so you are in the best position to have a successful recovery from surgery.
