Health

This course will provide the knowledge and skills required to implement evidence-based lifestyle medicine strategies for cancer prevention and living well after a cancer diagnosis. Although aimed at practicing healthcare professionals from all disciplines, it also has relevance to the wider public. The content covers the six pillars of lifestyle medicine, namely healthy diets, physical activity, restorative sleep, healthy relationships, management of stress and avoidance of harmful substances, and provides actionable take aways for personal and professional practice. The course aims to provide individuals and practitioners the confidence to disseminate this information amongst their patients, families and their communities.

Join us for a lunch time education event covering updates and practical implementation of plant-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine. The topics covered will include cancer, type 2 diabetes and multiple sclerosis.

The event will be certified by the CPD Certification Service, and you will receive a certificate of attendance afterwards.

The event will be recorded and a copy of the recording available to anyone booking a place.
