Today’s Medical and Healthcare students are our future. They are prepared to think differently, challenge the current construct of medical education, training and practice; and work towards creating a healthcare system that is accessible to all and supports patients in addressing the lifestyle factors at the root cause of most chronic disease. BSLM are working closely with these Students, their Universities & Societies, to ensure they have access to the latest lifestyle medicine evidence and best practice so they are future-fit and able to confidently support and integrate the use of lifestyle medicine in the treatment, management and reversal of chronic disease.
EULMS provides a forum for education & discussion surrounding all aspects of leading a healthy lifestyle, including physical activity, nutrition, sleep & stress management among others. We aim to promote physical & mental health on campus and beyond! We are a small but enthusiastic society founded in 2019 with the ambition to increase awareness of lifestyle medicine and encourage others to take on board the six pillars of lifestyle medicine
We are a lifestyle medicine society for students at Newcastle University. Since our inception in October 2020, we currently have over 45 members from a range of year groups and degree courses (including medical students and non-medics) and are continuing to grow!
Here at UCL, our society hopes to encourage students at University to make positive behaviour changes in pursuit of holistic health, to help us prioritise physical, social and mental wellness amidst the hustle and bustle of University life. We aim to foster a supportive environment where people feel motivated and empowered to cultivate healthy habits in their everyday lives.
The Lancaster Lifestyle Medicine Society was established in 2021 by two medical students who recognize that there is a gap in all medical school’s curriculums, with regards to teaching students the potential of lifestyle medicine in preventing, managing and reversing non-communicable disease.
The University of Central Lancashire’s General Practice Society was established in 2019, and are passionate about improving holistic healthcare and community well-being. Our aim is to provide students with opportunities to learn more about the pathway to becoming a General Practitioner, and events to broaden their knowledge of up to date evidence-based practice.
Oxford University Lifestyle Medicine Society aims to use the latest research and ideas within lifestyle medicine in order to make a positive, evidence-based impact on Oxford University students and the surrounding community. We are a passionate group of students who understand that barriers to healthy lifestyle encompass a range of social, physical and cultural factors and who aspire to be positive role models and more importantly facilitators to make healthy living more accessible. We are looking forward to this year as a committee and aim to make the latest research more digestible through our journal club, to make links with other societies and groups in the university and wider community to encourage and support better living. Furthermore, we aim to raise awareness of the ways that people can incorporate pillars of healthy living into their lives in a way that is achievable and sustainable for them.

Newcastle University Lifestyle Medicine Society
We are a lifestyle medicine society for students at Newcastle University. Since our inception in October 2020, we currently have over 45 members from a range of year groups and degree courses (including medical students and non-medics) and are continuing to grow!
So far, we have held a range of talks and workshops, and earlier this year established our social running group to provide a space for students to engage in physical activity within a friendly community. We have also partnered with a local coffee shop so members are entitled to our exclusive discount card. We have worked in collaboration with many other societies at Newcastle University, and hope to continue to do so to increase awareness of lifestyle medicine among students.
Alongside inspiring students to engage in lifestyle medicine through our events, we also aim to increase awareness of lifestyle medicine in the local community in and around Newcastle. We are currently planning a workshop where our members go into local schools to teach children about lifestyle medicine through fun interactive days. Additionally, we are in direct contact with the Medical School as we aim to encourage them to embed lifestyle medicine more thoroughly within the undergraduate curriculum.
If you are a Newcastle University student, you can buy your NLMS membership from https://www.nusu.co.uk/getinvolved/societies/society/lifestylemedicine/ for only £5.
Our social media shares helpful lifestyle medicine tips for everyone and you can find us at @newcastlelifestylemedicine on Instagram, or Newcastle Lifestyle Medicine Society on Facebook.

University College London Lifestyle Medicine Society
Here at UCL, our society hopes to encourage students at University to make positive behaviour changes in pursuit of holistic health, to help us prioritise physical, social and mental wellness amidst the hustle and bustle of University life. We aim to foster a supportive environment where people feel motivated and empowered to cultivate healthy habits in their everyday lives.
Beyond promoting wellness and mindful living, our committee believes it is also critical to recognise that these activities can be considered a luxury for some, especially in the context of England’s social inequalities and health gradient. We want to take the opportunity as leaders of the society to shed light on the broader context in which varying levels of access to the social determinants of health result in health inequities amongst people from different socioeconomic backgrounds, as Lifestyle Medicine can play an invaluable role to close this health gap.
Together, we hope to inspire others to become advocates of this incredible movement, which has the power to shape the landscape of Preventative Medicine and improve public health outcomes.
Our aims:
- Provide safe spaces for like-minded individuals to connect and look after themselves physically, mentally and socially amidst the hustle of University life.
- Promote awareness of the importance of Lifestyle Medicine as a form of Preventative Medicine, which can prevent, better manage, or even reverse lifestyle-induced chronic diseases that are highly prevalent today.
Students in the UCL community can get involved by signing up for our self-care and social events, participate in our social media campaigns and incorporate the pillars of Lifestyle Medicine in their everyday lives. Our passionate and ambitious committee is looking forward to planning an array of events this coming academic year, which includes mindfulness journaling sessions, ecotherapy walks, puppy yoga, talks by leading Lifestyle Medicine clinicians and much more!
