What is MECC?

Making Every Contact Count or ‘MECC’ is an effective and evidence-based approach to improving people’s health and wellbeing by helping them change their behaviour. MECC encourages you to use your day-to-day interactions with the public, to engage in conversations about improving their health, addressing risk factors such as alcohol, diet, physical activity, smoking and mental wellbeing.

MECC Link London is intended for use by health and social care professionals, GPs, nurses, police, social prescribers, and anyone offering frontline help and support in communities across London.

MECC Link London will support you, providing the following information and resources at your fingertips:

• Key information on healthy lifestyle topics.
• Suggested open questions using the Ask, Assist, Act model.
• Information on a range of primary self-care tools and resources.
• Signposting to recommended national and local support services, all in one place.

Let's get healthier, one conversation at a time.
