Physical activity: inspiring moving stories

This webinar will showcase the RCGP's Moving Stories series, featuring six powerful narratives that illustrate how primary care has effectively supported patients in increasing their physical activity, e.g. through becoming an Active Practice. One in four people would be more active if advised by a healthcare professional. These inspiring stories serve as reminders of the significant impact healthcare professionals can have on encouraging healthier lifestyles. By sharing these real-world examples, the session aims to motivate attendees to implement similar strategies in their own practices, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and community well-being.
