Making Every Contact Count (MECC) is an approach to behaviour change that uses the thousands of day to day interactions that organisations and people have with each other to support them in making positive changes to physical and mental health and wellbeing.

‍Drawing on behaviour change evidence, MECC maximises the opportunity within routine health and care interactions for a brief or very brief discussion on health or wellbeing factors to take place.

‍A MECC interaction takes a matter of minutes and is not intended to add to busy workloads, rather it is structured to fit into and complement existing professional and social engagement approaches. Evidence suggests that the broad adoption of the MECC approach by people and organisations that interact with others on a day to day basis could potentially have a significant impact on the health of our population.‍

Research has shown that a child’s first 1,000 days – from conception to age two - are the most crucial for the development of their body, brain, metabolism and immune system. Poor nutrition during this time is associated with numerous health problems, including obesity and impaired growth.

We can help you at any stage of your pregnancy to make sure you give your baby the best start in life.
