Veganuary is an opportunity to reflect on how lifestyle approaches, including diet, can support the prevention and management of long-term conditions. Lifestyle medicine takes an evidence-based, person-centred approach to supporting patients to make sustainable changes that improve health and wellbeing.

Our GPwER framework in Lifestyle Medicine provides guidance for GPs who have, or wish to develop, a specialist interest in this area and want to support patients beyond standard general practice care.
