🌿 Lifestyle Medicine for Future Pharmacists
About this event
Did you know that many of the leading causes of chronic disease are strongly influenced by everyday lifestyle behaviours? Pharmacists are the most accessible healthcare professionals in the community. Therefore, we're in a unique position to help people prevent, manage and even improve chronic disease through evidence-based lifestyle interventions.
Join Dr Jenny Brockis, WA Director of the Australian Society of Lifestyle Medicine, registered medical practitioner, board-certified lifestyle medicine physician, and award-winning speaker - for an interactive workshop exploring how lifestyle medicine can complement pharmacy practice.
🧠 Learn about the six pillars of lifestyle medicine:
🥗 Healthy eating • 🏃 Physical activity • 😴 Restorative sleep • 🧘 Stress management • 🤝 Positive social connection • 🚭 Avoidance of risky substances
💡 Bonus: Lifestyle medicine features in your pharmacy OSCEs, where you'll be assessed on providing evidence-based lifestyle advice to patients.
WHEN? Wednesday 05/08/2026 @ 12PM
