TAP into Change4Life is a Change4Life project based in Wakefield. It is jointly sponsored by Wakefield District Council, NHS Wakefield and Change4Life. It is an eighteen month obesity management project to evaluate the impact of 31 local Change4Life projects in three areas of Wakefield -

• Kinsley and Fitzwilliam
• Eastmoor
• Airedale

Wellpoint is at the centre of the evaluation acting as recruitment for the project and also evaluating the success of the project in terms of health gains (whether they be weight or blood pressure reduction).

Wakefield are using Wellpoint’s Service Matrix to signpost users via a questionnaire to local Change4Life projects.

As part of the evaluation the Wellpoint units are deployed in three different community settings.

• A community centre in Fitzwilliam
• A Food Hall in Wakefield market
• A local pharmacy in Airedale

With the changes in Public Health proposed for 2013 this project could help inform how the delivery of Public Health can take place through an innovative approach.
