IPT UK - National Meeting
Date: 8th November 2024
Time: 9.30 am - 4 pm
Location: Crown Plaza Hotel, 61 Homer Road, Solihull, B91 3QD
IPT West Midlands are your hosts for the next National Meeting on Friday the 8th November at the Crowne Plaza, Solihull, West Midlands. We are pleased to be offering an exciting new area in medicine and explore how Lifestyle Medicine relates to your clinical work in IPT.
Many of our clients who present with depression also have other long-term conditions. Lifestyle Medicine is a new medical discipline that integrates lifestyle practices into conventional medicine to lower the risk for chronic disease, treating lifestyle causes. It is an evidence-based approach to prevent, treat and sometimes reverse lifestyle related chronic diseases and disorders. The principles of Lifestyle Medicine are underpinned by the 6 pillars that the British Society for Lifestyle Medicine describe as: mental wellbeing, healthy relationships, physical activity, healthy eating, sleep and minimisation of harmful substances or behaviours.
The NHS long-term plan is to move towards prevention rather than treatment. Where we are currently is not sustainable with the demand on services and waiting times for treatment increasing. Lifestyle Medicine looks at how modifiable behavioural changes can be sustained through techniques to prevent someone developing a disease, improve a prognosis and sometimes reverse it
Guest Speakers:
-
A representative from the British Society for Lifestyle Medicine (BSLM) will give an overview of What is Lifestyle Medicine
-
Michelle Turner from Sheffield Hallam University, Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre, and member of the International Society for Lifestyle Medicine, will be presenting on physical activity for the management and prevention of long-term conditions

Educational/CPD Event Testimonials
- Really interesting and helps that the presenter is passionate about the area and provided references for books and papers
- Chatroom discussions were thought-provoking. Also, plenty of opportunities to share thoughts, ideas, and reflections throughout the presentation.
- Marie is passionate about this subject area, and lots of interesting research papers are shared. Lovely to meet with other IPT practitioners even if remotely. This training helpfully encouraged me to consider how to focus more on how depression shows up in the body when completing a symptom review and in general when practicing IPT. Also liked the idea of encouraging the patient to become an expert, and taking responsibility for their recovery by engaging in activities for the body.
- I enjoyed the discussions around how we work with depression and it was interesting to hear about the new research that is happening.
- Well presented by Heather. She had good knowledge of the topic and she opened the discussion to the delegates to encourage further sharing and expertise.
- Excellent overall - Appropriate level of attention to key aspects of a very comprehensive topic, supported by references and the presenter's clear knowledge of the subject matter. Good pace and level of input - left wanting more...
- Comprehensive overview of a broad topic. The presenter was engaging and clearly passionate about the topic. A good mix of refreshing prior/core IPT strategies and building upon these.
- Nicely facilitated - warm, genuine facilitator interested in hearing the views of participants. Very relevant topics for IPT practice. Thought-provoking.
