This is a one-off podcast that we recorded recently. It features Mike Stamp, an Ageing Well Practitioner based in Calderdale. Mike and his colleagues are based at GP surgeries and work with older people, helping them to preserve and build their strength, fitness and mobility through physical activity. In a wide-ranging chat we explored the part that strength and fitness have to play in maintaining a full and healthy lifestyle, whilst helping to prevent issues such as falls. This podcast was recorded in conjunction with Disability Partnership Calderdale.
