Promoting Physical Activity in Chronic Disease with Dr Emma Lunan

The Movement Prescription

Join us for the next episode of the Movement Prescription podcast, which focuses on how we can realistically encourage our patients with chronic disease to move more.
Suzy interviews GP, Sports Exercise consultant and fellow enthusiast Dr Emma Lunan, who was involved with Movement for Health from its inception. Movement for Health is a coalition of Scotland’s leading health charities who are committed to support the least active people living with long term health conditions to be more physically active, inspired by The Richmond Group and the Movement for All programme.
During this episode these two frontline GPs discuss the realities and possibilities of incorporating physical activity interventions into routine general practice, with all patients including those with chronic disease, being aware of the barriers and challenges (often starting with ourselves). A cautiously optimistic account, which we hope you will enjoy.

Produced using funding from NHS Tayside Educational Fund and the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine.
