Over to you!

Some ways for us, as GPs, to sit less and move more during the working day include:

  • walking to the waiting room to greet patients
  • walking to meetings
  • getting a sit-stand desk to try ‘active consulting’ (where you conduct phone consultations while standing up or walking around the consulting room)
  • active breaks (such as going for a short walk at lunchtime, time permitting).

And of course, sign up to the Active Practice Charter – to advertise to the world that your practice means it when it comes to increasing physical activity AND reducing sedentary behaviour!
