The Life! program

Over the weekend Life! attended the General Practice Conference and Exhibition (GPCE) together with one of our providers, ‘Lifestyle as Medicine’ at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. The event was attended by over 3000 health professionals and 250 other exhibitors in the healthcare space. It was encouraging that many GPs we spoke to had already heard about the Life! program, were keen to find out more and learn how to refer their patients. 🤜🤛 We also enjoyed networking with other organisations in the sector to discuss opportunities for collaboration. Because together, we are stronger. 💪 Find out more about the Life! Program, our referral system and how your patients can benefit 🧑⚕️ >>> https://bit.ly/3RL5oZe GPCE (General Practice Conference & Exhibition) Diabetes Victoria #health #type2diabetesprevention #DiabetesVictoria

Life! recently attended the Banyule City Council Ageing Well Expo and spoke to over 100 attendees.

We love speaking to GPs and practice nurses about the programs and services we offer for those affected by diabetes. Recently Elleni and Chloe met with staff at Altona Superclinic to discuss our diabetes education programs and how to refer patients into the Life! program. #health #healthawareness #type2diabetesprevention #clinics #doctors

Did you know that Life! delivers a completely FREE type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke prevention program, not only for individuals but also to workplaces and community groups? 🙌 This week we delivered two healthy living sessions at the City of Casey. A healthy living session runs for 45 minutes. It’s a bite-sized version of the program and encourages participants to engage with their health and check their eligibility. 30 staff participated and several took our 2-minute health check and enrolled in a group course.
