Residents in Scunthorpe will have the chance to meet hospital-based health experts at a free community event focused on prevention and healthier living.
The Fit4Life event will take place at Robert Holme Hall from 11am to 2pm, offering workshops, Q&A sessions and one-to-one conversations with doctors, nurses, therapists and other NHS professionals. Visitors can learn about smoking cessation, healthy lifestyle choices, alcohol moderation, cancer screening programmes and vaccinations.
Interactive sessions will explore how artificial intelligence is being used in modern healthcare, while presentations and demonstrations will provide practical advice on reducing the risk of conditions such as strokes, cancer and heart disease.
The initiative is part of a series of health promotion events organised by NHS Humber Health Partnership to address common health challenges in East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire.
Following its first outing at Hull Royal Infirmary in July, further Fit4Life events are planned for Castle Hill Hospital, Goole and District Hospital, Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby and Scunthorpe General Hospital later this year.
