No posters for Couch to 5K in docs?

I've never seen any posters for Couch to 5K in my GP's surgery. Odd as it's an NHS initiative so I would have thought they would be keen to 'shout' about it. Anyone seen it displayed in doctors surgeries? Just curious!

Nope and one of my GPS had never heard of it either....

Strange isn't it I worked in a GP surgery and seeing as it is NHS I thought it would be promoted but no one admitted to knowing anything about it ! I suggested posters etc but they weren't interested 😢 I work at the hospital now and NHS C25 is displayed in our department and so it should it's excellent for fitness and stamina😀

I think like a lot of very large organisations there is sadly no 'joined up' thinking! :( It's a shame!
