Live Life Aberdeenshire understands the pressures on the healthcare system and the information set out on these pages details the ways in which can support you as a healthcare professional.
We are happy to take referrals from healthcare professionals as our contribution to support the early intervention and prevention agenda.

We also offer a range of team sports across Aberdeenshire such as walking netball, walking football, table tennis and badminton. These sports can often make people feel more connected in their communities, increase confidence and reduce isolation.
