Healthwise is committed to supporting local healthcare teams in promoting physical activity and wellbeing across Barnet. Did you know? 50% of Healthwise referrals from primary care are either uncontactable or not interested at referral.

From 2026, Healthwise is introducing important updates to make referrals to the service easier and more effective. Programmes will continue to be run across five leisure centres.

Key reminders for 2026

• If the patient is in pre-contemplation/contemplation, provide a leaflet or signpost to the FAB Hub.
• Check inclusion criteria and ensure eligibility before referring.
• Use Make every contact count conversations.
• Affordable membership options: £30 Direct Debit per month, £6 Pay & Play (effective from 1 January).
• An updated referral form is available on the EMIS system for streamlined referrals (BAR Global Documents > Referral Forms > Healthwise Referral).
• See service pages below for programme details and how to refer.
