The Active Practice Charter is a growing network of practices that have made positive changes in their surgeries to boost staff and patient wellbeing.

To support this initiative, we are hosting a series of masterclasses designed to support:

  • practices interested in finding out more about the Active Practice Charter
  • practices already signed up to the Charter to develop their offering to staff and patients 
  • GPs with an interest in physical activity and lifestyle medicine develop an extended role in this area.

Who should attend

These webinars are aimed at clinicians and leaders in the primary care setting including GPs, practice managers, all healthcare professionals with an interest in lifestyle medicine, and those working in the physical activity sector.
