A drive will begin this week to encourage people to be more conscious about their health and well-being.
Serious long-term health conditions impact heavily on the Island's NHS which is already stretched and struggling to meet demands.

health will be speaking to members of the public at the Strand Shopping Centre
in Douglas tomorrow.
