Lifestyle Medicine in Practice:
Quarterly Support Sessions for PBHP Members

Lifestyle Medicine in Practice is a quarterly, members-only support series for PBHP members qualified in Lifestyle Medicine who want to translate evidence into real-world care. Designed primarily for Lifestyle Medicine alumni, the sessions focus on practical implementation, service development and shared learning from those actively delivering Lifestyle Medicine across NHS, community and private settings.

The January session is on Monday 26 January, 8–9pm

 “Accelerate Your Lifestyle Medicine Practice”

Lifestyle Medicine Accelerator exists for one purpose: to embed Lifestyle Medicine sustainably within the NHS, free at the point of care. Founded and led by Dr Camille Hirons, an NHS GP experienced in system transformation, LMA partners with NHS organisations to help them co-design and build their own Lifestyle Medicine services.

“We provide CPD-accredited training, ready-to-use, tried and tested patient resources, EMIS-compatible templates, evaluation frameworks and appointment workflows so teams can launch quickly and confidently. We then offer 12 months of continued support, including regular check-ins and access to our monthly Community of Practice.

Together, we can drive meaningful, equitable and lasting change.”

What to expect from the meeting

Learn about the Lifestyle Medicine Accelerator’s journey, from community co-design to a scalable service. We’ll walk through real cases, share our latest service evaluation and data, and run a short workshop on key considerations for designing your own NHS Lifestyle Medicine service. We’ll end with an open Q&A session.

About the speaker

Carol is a medically qualified epidemiologist and public health academic who pioneered dementia research in populations.

As Professor of Public Health Medicine at Cambridge University (2001-2024), now Professor Emeritus, she led the groundbreaking Cognitive Function and Ageing Studies since 1989. This multidisciplinary, multicentre longitudinal research revealed that dementia can occur without expected brain pathology changes and that such changes don’t inevitably lead to dementia. Crucially, her work demonstrated that age-adjusted dementia rates have declined over 30 years, informing national policy. Her innovative work brought biological research to population studies, including establishing brain banks from community cohorts.

A Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences and among the world’s most cited scholars, Carol has held numerous leadership positions including NIHR Senior Investigator and co-chair of the Alzheimer’s Society Research Strategy Council. She received a CBE for services to public health medicine in 2017.
