Prototyping in public health practice: Demonstrating a streamlined implementation process with a community based weight management programme (Momenta) (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Dodd-Reynolds, C., Nevens, L., Finch, T., Oliver, E., & Hanson, C. (2018, October). Prototyping in public health practice: Demonstrating a streamlined implementation process with a community based weight management programme (Momenta). Poster presented at 7th International Society for Physical Activity and Health Congress, London, UK

Background: While stakeholder co-production may reduce the ‘implementation gap’ in design of public health programmes, it can be time consuming and costly. Prototyping offers a potential solution; we tested its value using a 3-month weight-management...

Exercise on referral schemes (ERS) are recommended by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence for increasing physical activity in inactive patients with long-term health conditions. The current paper critiques a recent extension to ERS provisio... Read More about Exercise on referral: evidence and complexity at the nexus of public health and sport policy.

Evaluating the impact of evidence‐based change within the Northumberland Exercise on Referral Scheme (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Hanson, C. (2016, April). Evaluating the impact of evidence‐based change within the Northumberland Exercise on Referral Scheme. Presented at The Third Fuse International Conference on Knowledge Exchange in Public Health

Exercise on referral schemes (ERS) allow health professionals to encourage physical activity (PA) for patients with long‐term conditions. One such scheme is the Northumberland ERS, a 24‐week community‐based supervised PA intervention of primary care...

Journal Article
Hanson, C. L., Allin, L. J., Ellis, J. G., & Dodd-Reynolds, C. J. (2013). An evaluation of the efficacy of the exercise on referral scheme in Northumberland, UK: association with physical activity and predictors of engagement. A naturalistic observation study.

ABSTRACT Objectives: Exercise on referral schemes (ERS) are widely commissioned in the UK but there is little evidence of their association with physical activity levels. We sought to assess the Northumberland exercise on referral scheme in terms o...
