GP Health and Wellbeing Prescribing Practices

UHC has been researching GP health and Wellbeing practices, particularly concerning health and wellbeing advice and support given to Diabetic patients from BAME communities. The quality of practice varies widely as do GP and patient expectations as to what lifestyle change they think is possible. Given that Diabetes is such a prevalent disease and highly attributable to lifestyle and diet factors there does seem to be a need for more emphasis on the importance of nutrition in GP training and the complimentary role that health coaches can play in supporting recovery.
