Lifestyle Medicine - A Modern Medical Discipline Transforming Healthcare

Lifestyle Medicine is a modern medical discipline providing solutions to the challenge of our declining health and over-stretched health-care systems.
The British Society of Lifestyle Medicine has just held its 6th annual conference this month in Tottenham, London. Over 1000 healthcare practitioners from all backgrounds; health coaches, nurses, physiotherapists, GPs and hospital consultants came together with patients and researchers to share the science behind this powerful new approach and how it is being used to transform healthcare in the NHS.
The 2022 British Society of Lifestyle Medicine conference was buzzing with examples from coal-face clinicians and others presenting results demonstrating good practice which supported not just prevention, but reversal of long-term conditions, even in the most deprived areas of the UK. These clinicians were joined by influential policy makers and health care leaders such as Professor Sir Muir Gray, Dr Crystal Oldman CBE (Queens Nursing Institute), Professor Martin Marshal CBE (RCGP, Chair), Professor Dame Clare Gerada (RCGP President), Sir James Mackey (CEO NHS Trust), Dr John Dean (RCP, Clinical Vice Pres) all of whom recognise this is where the future of medicine lies; in the hands of patients, supported by their clinicians. We now need policy makers and healthcare organisations to support this grass roots movement to deliver Lifestyle Medicine at scale.
