Living Well Taking Control is hosting a free patient webinar on 1st August 2025 from 12:00-12:40 to raise awareness of the link between physical activity and type 2 diabetes prevention.

This session is designed for patients who are at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes or have been diagnosed with prediabetes but have not yet accessed the free NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP). We are particularly keen to engage patients from deprived areas, ethnic minority backgrounds, younger demographics, and those with a history of gestational diabetes, as these groups are at higher risk.

Why is this important?

Early intervention can significantly reduce the likelihood of Type 2 diabetes and its complications, improve long-term health outcomes and reducing strain on healthcare services.

Through this webinar, attendees will:

✔ Learn more about how regular physical activity helps reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes - and practical recommendations for daily movement.

✔ Discover the long-term benefits of addressing prediabetes early to prevent progression to type 2 diabetes and other associated health concerns.

✔ More practical tips on lifestyle changes including healthy eating, managing stress, improving sleep and enhancing your environment.

✔ Discover free NHS resources available to support lifestyle changes

Preventable childhood infections can have a huge impact on a child’s life. They can miss out on education due to time spent unwell, be hospitalised, have life-long complications such as deafness, blindness and paralysis. Sometimes they can even cause death.

Childhood immunisation is one more way to help keep them safe.

To see if your child is up to date with their childhood vaccinations, check their red book, or contact your GP practice.
