19th – 21st September
The Glasshouse – Newcastle Gateshead
Welcome to BSLM 2024, the UK’s leading Lifestyle Medicine Conference!
In September, BSLM are in Newcastle Gateshead for our annual medical conference, with an esteemed list of industry-leading speakers providing expert insight into lifestyle medicine. Our comprehensive three-day programme will explore all key elements of the evidence-based lifestyle medicine approach, including:
The 6 Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine
The Skills of Lifestyle Medicine
Group Consultations & Virtual Group Consultations
Population Health Improvement, Public Health, and Behaviour Change
Healthy Aging and Lifestyle Medicine Throughout Life
There really is no medical conference quite like this in the UK, one which brings together clinicians, scientists, researchers, health professionals and patients.
Theme
Sadly, healthy life expectancy is stalling, or in retreat and children born today may have a lesser healthy life expectancy than their parents. But this outlook is not inevitable and indeed our approach through the discipline of lifestyle medicine gives us plenty room for optimism. Our theme this year will therefore take a grass roots approach by focusing on ensuring our children’s health gets off to the best start and that this continues as we live and age. Our goal is that by learning, debating, gaining confidence in and delivering lifestyle medicine, as well as enabling policy changes which reduce socioeconomic disparities, together we will drive an improvement in health and increases in life expectancy.
