Routines for Wellbeing (next cohort starts July 1, 2026)
A licensed, evidence-based preventative group programme for people with long-term conditions and frequent attendance patterns. Built for NHS teams, AHPs, social prescribers, and values-led GPs.
​
3.5 hours per week delivery | Fully scripted | QA included
​
Developed and delivered in real NHS settings across 3 Cambridge GP practices over ~18 months.
What this is
Routines for Wellbeing helps people rebuild routine, confidence, and day-to-day functioning through a licensed preventative group pathway which is, quality-assured. It is not a loose wellbeing group, and it is not signposting.
​
Fit check
Best for people who want a clear, replicable model with fidelity, QA, and support. Not for teams looking for a generic wellness add-on or something they can deliver without training.
​​
Why it matters
Many people fall through gaps between services — too complex for signposting, but not consistently supported.
RFW provides a structured way to deliver relational, group-based care that is consistent, safe, and repeatable across teams.

A 6-week, evidence-based, group self-management programme for people with long-term conditions and frequent attendance patterns. Built for NHS teams, AHPs, social prescribers, and values-led GPs who want a preventative, quality-assured model, not loose signposting.

Why now?
The July 2026 intake is for practitioners and teams who want to get started with a model that is already tested in NHS settings and ready to roll out with support.
​
Quality assurance and fidelity
Routines for Wellbeing is designed to be delivered consistently, safely, and to a clear standard. That matters for participants, facilitators, and NHS teams alike.
This is a preventative quality-assured programme delivered with fidelity, not a generic wellbeing session.
Why QA matters
This is not a loose facilitation model. It is a structured programme with defined content, expected delivery, and clear sign-off criteria, so licensees can deliver it with confidence and commissioners can trust the standard.
How fidelity is maintained
How fidelity is maintained
- Standardised training curriculum
- Scripted session plans for Sessions 0 to 6
- Competency checklist aligned to the facilitator manual
- One observed or recorded session
- Clear pass threshold before sign-off
- Occasional spot-checks after sign-off
- Monthly support calls for ongoing supervision
What good delivery looks like
Good delivery means facilitators follow the structure, hold the group safely, keep the focus on routine and self-management, and support participants without drifting into unstructured advice giving or loose signposting.
​
Who this is not for
- People wanting an open-ended wellbeing circle
- People who cannot commit to the training and QA process
- Teams looking for a quick add-on without the delivery discipline
