Exercise can improve both physical and mental wellbeing, but for many people with long-term health conditions, barriers remain.

A new Healthwatch Barnet report found:
• 63% of respondents said physical health issues limit their ability to exercise
• 35% would be encouraged by advice from a GP or health professional
• 75% had little or no disposable income, making cost a significant obstacle

The report highlights good practice and recommends changes to ensure everyone has the opportunity to be active, regardless of their health condition.

Jano Goodchild’s reflections from the NICE Conference 2026 emphasise the importance of genuine partnership with communities.

She highlighted that effective co-production depends on building trust over time, creating safe and inclusive spaces, and ensuring that people feel heard and valued in decision-making processes. Without this, engagement risks remaining superficial and limited in impact.

Reflecting on her experience at the NICE Conference 2026, Jano Goodchild identified the need for a stronger focus on prevention across the health system.

A key learning was that health outcomes are shaped long before individuals access clinical care. Addressing wider determinants such as housing, employment, education and the cost of living is essential if we are to reduce health inequalities and improve long-term outcomes.
