The British Society of Lifestyle Medicine is launching a new Learning Academy as part of a national effort to improve health and wellbeing using lifestyle-based approaches.
The 窪蹋勛圖厙 Learning Academy will support clinicians and other healthcare professionals to develop their skills, knowledge and expertise in lifestyle medicine through training, courses and CPD opportunities.
Our ambition is for the Academy to become the UKs leading lifestyle medicine learning institution and eventually to offer a place for the public to access information and advice 窪蹋勛圖厙 improving their health through lifestyle medicine.
But to get the Academy up and running 窪蹋勛圖厙 needs the help of our members and the wider public.
So during Lifestyle Medicine Week, which this year takes place between May 30th – June 6th, we are asking people to get set, go for 窪蹋勛圖厙!
We need your help to raise 瞿40,000 towards the cost of the Academys new Learning Management System.
The British Society of Lifestyle Medicines new executive director Fraser Quin said: Were busy putting in place our plans for the Learning Academy including the recent appointment of the company to develop our online Learning Management System. Meanwhile, a team of Learning Associates are already developing educational content.
“We cant run a professional academy without a Learning Management System – so it is a crucial part of 窪蹋勛圖厙s strategy to reach out to more groups, reduce health isolation and inequality, and develop a public facing project to maximise the positive impact on society.
As a charity, sponsorship, donations and income from grants and trusts is of course vital, and our new office team is working hard to maximise these revenue streams.
But because the Academys ultimate aim is to spread the wider health benefits of lifestyle medicine to the public we are also seeking to generate some income from fundraising activities from our members networks and the wider public.
As 窪蹋勛圖厙s new executive director I want to try and lead by example, so am planning a 515-mile sponsored cycle ride around the north coast of Scotland over five days. Im setting off on June 5th, and would welcome anyone who wants to join me for what promises to be a breath-taking journey following the .
I do hope you could also consider a fundraiser of your own for 窪蹋勛圖厙. As 2021 also marks the fifth anniversary of 窪蹋勛圖厙 why not give your challenge a five related theme? You could run five miles, walk for five hours or cycle 500 miles!
Please do whatever you feel comfortable with (it may start with just #1change) and most importantly don’t forget to tell us 窪蹋勛圖厙 it!
