I have been attempting to work within the scope of lifestyle medicine for months now, and the course has provided me with some additional tools that I find very helpful. My job satisfaction has definitely improved since using tools learnt in the course. Thank you.

Way Surgery.

             It taught me much more than I expected by explaining how lifestyle factors could prevent some illnesses and diseases.

- Mohammed Rahman | Social prescriber

             The course was clear, practical and very relevant to the kind of work I do every day in the surgery. It gave me both the evidence base and the practical tools I can use straight away with patients. I came away feeling more confident in my role and more motivated to put lifestyle medicine at the heart of my conversations
