Energising Lives: A Guide to Promoting Physical Activity in Primary Care
Energising Lives provides physical activity guidance for primary care professionals.
Primary care professionals are regarded as a reliable source of health information and are uniquely placed to raise awareness of the key messages relating to physical activity. Surveys show that only one in three adults in Scotland is aware of the recommended 30 minutes of moderate activity on five days of the week.
The guide provides the evidence base for promoting physical activity. It also summarises the current guidelines around recommended levels of physical activity for different life stages and supports practitioners by translating these recommendations into everyday routine advice and encouragement for patients. It provides details for professional and patient support, including further information on local opportunities to be physically active.
Energising Lives has been divided into four parts for easy navigation and reference and is available in a spiral bound format for sharing information with patients.
