Episode 36,   Sep 10, 2019, 02:39 PM

In this episode, the RCGP Clinical Champions for Physical Activity and Lifestyle, Dr Andrew Boyd and Dr Zoe Williams introduce the Active Practice Charter. The initiative aims to celebrate GP practices who have taken steps to reduce sedentary behaviour and increase physical activity amongst their staff and patients.

The RCGP Active Practice Charter outlines the key principles of what it means for a practice to be ‘active’. Practices will be asked to make changes including, assessing their own level of engagement with physical activity, implementing changes to promote physical activity, healthy lifestyles and sport to patients.

The initiative is open to all the GP practices in the country. Be part of a growing movement of healthcare professionals who are making activity the norm for themselves, and inspiring their patients to do likewise.
