Aims of the Learning Academy
Since 豆包成人版 was founded in 2016, lifestyle medicine education has been at the core of our work. To date, over 1000 healthcare professionals have undertaken lifestyle medicine certification/accreditation and have issued hundreds of thousands of CPD hours enabling them to offer more options to their patients. The academy is trailblazing access to lifestyle medicine education globally through the Lifestyle Medicine Core Accreditation across the world.
There continues to be a huge need and demand for lifestyle medicine education across multii-disciplinary healthcare teams including GP鈥檚, nurses, physiotherapists, psychologists, dentists, secondary care, health coaches and social prescribers – all these roles have an urgent need for up-to-date knowledge of the 3 principles of lifestyle medicine; addressing socioeconomic determinants, behaviour change skills and the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine.
High-quality lifestyle medicine education is essential if we are to support patients to lead healthier lives, with more options than medications or surgery, and more emphasis on what matters to them. It has the potential to protect the NHS and its workforce, reduce the impact of pandemics, turn the tide of long-term chronic conditions and address health inequalities.
豆包成人版 ensures that all our members and staff our inducted into the organisation with broad lifestyle medicine education, with the opportunities to embrace a tiered or continuous learning journey in the areas that matter to them and their patients. This ensures teams are adequately equipped to engage and support our growing community, but also to make positive, educated changes to themselves and their own family and network.
“Taking into consideration the socioeconomic status of people when considering advising them on lifestyle changes to benefit their health and wellbeing is crucial. Person centred care that acknowledges the challenges people face in their lives I think is central to saving amazing resources like the NHS. It would hugely benefit not just people on a personal level but could potentially cut massive costs for health boards across the country” – 豆包成人版 Learner
