Hospital: FGH in Barrow
A SPECIAL scheme to boost the health and wellbeing of healthcare staff is set to be launched in Barrow in September.
The initiative will see employees from Furness General Hospital, as well as GPs and other people working in the field of health, take part in a Couch to 5K running programme.
They will build up their fitness and running stamina over a period of eight weeks before taking part in a 5km park run.
It is hoped the move will help protect the health of hospital staff and others who care for the public on a daily basis.
