Ways to get active in 2025

The Public Health Agency (PHA) is highlighting different ways you can get active in 2025 as we gear up for the New Year.

Gerard Walls, Senior Health and Social Wellbeing Officer at the PHA, said: “At this time of the year, following Christmas, many people will be looking at how they can become healthier and fitter, get more active, and achieve a healthy weight."

Your best shot at avoiding unnecessary illness this winter

Getting your yearly flu and COVID-19 vaccines lowers your chances of having serious complications or dying from these diseases. This is especially true for people who are at high risk of complications.

The message from the Public Health Agency (PHA) is clear –if you are eligible, get vaccinated now.

Have your say on what we do!

Consultation on the draft Public Health Agency (PHA) Corporate Plan 2025-2030 is now live.

The draft Corporate Plan, initial draft equality screening, initial draft rural screening and the consultation questionnaire are all available via the PHA website - Current consultations section. The consultation will end on 28 February 2025.
