About

We’re buzz, Manchester’s NHS Health & Wellbeing Service

Our aim is to improve the health and wellbeing of people and communities in Manchester, to help individuals and families live fuller, healthier, happier and longer lives.

If you have a long term physical health condition and struggle to exercise then our Physical Activity Referral Service (PARS) can help you increase your levels of activity in a safe and structured environment.

Our Neighbourhood Health Workers are based in your local communities. They deliver training courses and workshops, supporting community groups and organising health events. Helping to improve the health and wellbeing of communities.

If you work in health and social care within Manchester, our Knowledge Service can provide access to high quality health information. Ensuring decisions about health and wellbeing are based on the best possible evidence.
