Practice Health Champions

Our Practice Health Champions

Ashville Surgery is proud to work alongside a fantastic group of volunteer Health Champions – patients who give their time to run a variety of wellbeing activities each week. These groups are a great way for patients to connect, get active, and support their overall health.

Rob Williamson, one of our dedicated Practice Health Champions, has been nominated and shortlisted from hundreds of entries for the BBC Radio Manchester – Make a Difference Awards 2024, in “The Green Award” category! This award celebrates individuals and groups who go the extra mile to make their communities more environmentally friendly and supportive of nature — and we couldn’t think of anyone more deserving.
