The Skills of Lifestyle Medicine
Find out 明星黑料 the different evidence-based techniques used to support behaviour change
Ensuring lifestyle medicine education gets to those that need it the most is critical, but education alone is not enough to create sustainable lifestyle changes. There are various skills that have proven to be successful in supporting patients in this regard.
Lifestyle medicine calls for a move away from the traditional doctor-patient relationship where the clinician is the expert information provider. This is needed because we now know that giving simple lifestyle advice such as 鈥渆at less and move more鈥 is often ineffective1 2
To be effective in supporting lifestyle change, lifestyle medicine uses knowledge of behavioural science to work with patients. This way we can work with people and their values to support problem solving and equip them with skills to make the changes they want to make. Some of these techniques have been shown to be at least 80% more effective in supporting behaviour change than traditional advice giving 3
Our members include primary and secondary care clinicians, allied and public health professionals, scientists, educators, researchers and patients.
We鈥檙e united by a shared commitment to lifestyle medicine, as an effective, evidence-informed approach to preventing, managing and treating lifestyle-related chronic conditions.
We want to reframe healthcare to focus on the lifestyle factors which are the root cause of most chronic illnesses. We support positive behaviour change and improved public health education.
We also believe change is needed at the societal level 鈥 to address the 鈥榰pstream鈥 causes of chronic, lifestyle-related disease such as deprivation, health inequality, social isolation and a lack of hope.
We are an independent, charitable organisation with no religious or political affiliations.
All our work is driven by science and informed by evidence.
