Brilliant learning platform, quality of content and varied delivery methods. Kept me engaged the whole day (which is something for me!)
— Physical activity professional, Lifestyle Medicine course attendee
Fantastic course on a part of medicine which is hugely important but often neglected from med school curriculum/ further training. This will empower our patients and ensure we are practising holistic medicine.

I was new to life style medicine and this has given an excellent insight in how to make changes in my area. I feel these future changes will be of significant benefit to my patients.
