Advice on healthier choices offered at free event

The event aims to give residents the chance to speak to professionals about any health concerns

People will be able to learn more about making healthier choices at a free event.

Fit4Life will take place at Scunthorpe General Hospital's Robert Holme Hall, in Church Lane, Scunthorpe, on 18 August from 11:00 to 14:00 BST.

Those who attend will be able to learn more about how their diet, alcohol and smoking can affect their health, and will be offered cancer screening and vaccinations.

Lyn Simpson, interim group chief executive of NHS Humber Health Partnership, said the event aimed to give residents the chance to "speak directly to professionals" about any health concerns.

"Our hospitals are always here when you need us, but Fit4Life offers a fun and interactive way to help you make healthier choices that could reduce the need for medical care in the future," she said.

The event will include workshops and presentations by NHS experts, Q&A sessions on healthier lifestyles which reduce your risk of disease, information on cancer screening programmes and interactive sessions that will show how AI is influencing modern healthcare.

Fit4Life events have also been planned for Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham, Goole and District Hospital, Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby, and Scunthorpe General Hospital over the coming months.
