The Waterside Health Bus for Spring 2026

 

We’re delighted to announce that the Waterside Health Bus is now with Vanhaus Conversions company to be fitted out, ready for a planned launch in Spring 2026. This exciting new service will bring NHS health and wellbeing support directly into our local communities, making care easier to access for everyone.

 

The Health Bus will travel to convenient, familiar locations across the Waterside, offering free, preventative services such as:

💙 NHS Health Checks to help people understand their health risks
💙 Blood pressure checks and early identification of cardiovascular disease
💙 Practical lifestyle advice, including support with physical activity, healthy eating and stopping smoking
💙 Personalised wellbeing and mental health support, tailored to individual needs
💙 Clear advice and signposting into further NHS and community services when needed

 

By taking services out into the community, the Waterside Health Bus will help us engage with people who may not always access traditional healthcare settings. This means we can spot early warning signs sooner, offer timely support, and help prevent long-term health problems before they develop.

​

Our aim is simple: to support healthier lives and improve long-term health outcomes through accessible, preventative and patient-centred care.

​

We’re very grateful to have received a £45,000 donation from ExxonMobil Fawley, which has helped make this initiative possible and demonstrates a shared commitment to improving health and wellbeing across the Waterside community.

 

We’re really looking forward to working with community partners and meeting residents on board as we prepare for launch. Keep following us for updates as we get closer to Spring 2026!
