Four commonly used methods to increase physical activity: costing template

A costing report and costing template have been produced by NICE to provide an implementation tool to estimate the resource impact to the NHS of implementing the public health intervention on physical activity.

As part of this work, a costing template has been developed to provide health communities with the ability to assess the likely local impact of the principal recommendations in the appraisal based on their population. Other assumptions can be altered to better reflect local circumstances.

The Institute would welcome feedback from users to inform the development of future templates. Please email your comments to costing@nice.org.uk
