Patients

London

‘The Healthier Lifestyle Class is an initiative to bring together a corporate health assessment offering and the behavioural change of those employees who need it most. Corporations routinely offer health assessments as part of their health benefits, so what do we do with the data? If people have medical conditions they are often referred to specialists, but what about when they are at risk of developing a long-term condition such as cardiovascular disease, or diabetes? They are giving advice and often not followed up with. The Healthier Lifestyle Class is free for employees, has a supervised exercise session followed by educational content on the pillars of lifestyle medicine, and it offers the employee accountability over their health. Health metrics such as non-HDL cholesterol, fasted blood glucose, and functional outcomes are then measured before and after the cohort have finished their programme.
