Laughology has worked with NHS Knowsley developing innovative ways of sharing information in a creative and fun way to ensure they reach as many people as possible and in doing this ensure we consider different people’s learning styles.

“One of my goals as Head of Engagement and Involvement has been to lead the engagement and involvement of local people to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease rates and more importantly inform local people about preventative programmes of work. NHS Knowsley

To do this it is essential that we encourage people to have free Health Checks so that we can signpost and treat those at higher risk, and also support those not at risk in taking advantage of activities to keep them healthier and fitter in the future. For example giving up smoking, weight management classes, physical activity programmes...

We launched Knowsley at Heart in October 2008 and had play performance and local comedians to share important messages and also to make it light and fun as well as informative. Since the launch Laughology has worked in partnership with NHS Knowsley staff to train local people in the Knowsley Community Health Champions programme to talk to their friends about stroke, heart disease, vascular disease and ways of reducing their risk.

The Laughology model has also been incorporated into our cardiac rehabilitation programmes ensuring that patients learn to relax and take a more positive view of life.

Thanks to the team at Laughology, we can enable serious messages to be translated in creative formats, which are so enjoyable people don’t feel they are being lectured or “talked at”, instead it’s become a two-way method of communication which collectively we are all learning from.”
