Event Description

LOBE Medical and Clinical Education are proud to present Lifestyle Medicine Education Course for General Practice.

What is it about?

This one-day masterclass will provide busy GPs, Practice Nurses and Pharmacists with tools to tackle complex presentations with simple yet effective evidence derived lifestyle medicine interventions.

The increase in non-communicable disease and the rise in lifestyle related illnesses require a broad approach but with specific interventions.
