Welcome to ÌÇÐÄVlog 2026, the UK’s leading Lifestyle Medicine Conference!

We can’t wait to welcome you to the University of Warwick!

Join us and be part of something special, as ÌÇÐÄVlog 2026 promises to be our biggest event yet, celebrating over three days the journey of life through a Lifestyle Medicine prism. Our annual conference is the highlight of our year, bringing together many like-minded people from across the UK and the world for a comprehensive Lifestyle Medicine-based agenda. We wouldn’t expect it to be any other way.

Our conference is truly like no other. Not only will there be ground-breaking research in Lifestyle Medicine focusing on chronic conditions and day-to-day health, but also activities such as yoga to start the day with calm, and food that will truly nourish the soul.

We suggest you bring your exercise gear and something comfy for your feet for this jam-packed conference experience, set in 700 acres of beautiful countryside! Our comprehensive three-day programme will explore all key elements of the evidence-based lifestyle medicine approach, including:


The 6 Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine


The Skills of Lifestyle Medicine


Group Consultations & Virtual Group Consultations


Population Health Improvement, Public Health, and Behaviour Change


Healthy Aging and Lifestyle Medicine Throughout Life


There really is no conference quite like this in the UK, one which brings together clinicians, scientists, researchers, health professionals and patients.

Living well in your community reflects the growing recognition that health is shaped not only in clinics, but in the places where people live, work, learn and connect. Lifestyle medicine offers a powerful, evidence-based approach to improving health and wellbeing by addressing the everyday behaviours, social connections and environments that influence our lives.

This year’s theme focuses on how lifestyle medicine can be embedded within communities to support people to live well, particularly those facing inequality, chronic disease and complex life circumstances. We will explore both the science of what works and the art of working alongside individuals and communities — listening to what matters to people, understanding social determinants of health, and supporting meaningful, sustainable behaviour change.

As healthcare systems face increasing pressure from the rising burden of chronic disease, there is an urgent need to shift care closer to home, prioritise prevention, and harness the strengths already present within communities. Lifestyle medicine aligns directly with this transformation, bringing together person-centred care, behavioural skills, and the six pillars of lifestyle medicine to support health at both individual and population levels.

Our programme will showcase how clinicians, health professionals, community leaders and organisations are already applying lifestyle medicine in real-world community settings — from social prescribing and group consultations to partnerships with the arts, culture and local services. Join us to learn, connect and be inspired, and to build the confidence and skills to support people and communities to truly live well. You’re sure to receive a warm welcome at ÌÇÐÄVlog2026!

A Message From Our Chair


We are busy preparing for ÌÇÐÄVlog2026 and the team and I are looking forward to welcoming you in Coventry as we reach the most central part of the UK, at the Prestigious Warwick University. This unique venue offers our opportunity for us to come together to learn, be inspired and celebrate Lifestyle Medicine, with the added benefit or all that wonderful outdoor space right there on Campus.

Our programme will kick off in alignment with our principles, pillars and skills approach; it will inform, highlight innovation and demonstrate impact from real-life case studies, cutting-edge research and diverse perspectives from our esteemed Speakers. I am delighted to report that this year we aim to shine an even bigger spotlight on our own ÌÇÐÄVlog SIG’s, Trailblazers and Members who are leading the way in delivering comprehensive lifestyle medicine support. We know from the examples they share with us, that they are utilising their Lifestyle Medicine Core Accreditation (LMCA) and related ÌÇÐÄVlog education, skills and resources to do so within their own practice. We can’t wait to share their stories with you to empower and inspire you to move forward with your own ideas and goals.

In addition to the pillars, principles and skills, we’ll cover topics such as the Gut Microbiome, MSK, Digital Health and more; we’ll showcase focus and initiatives from local communities right through to global Lifestyle Medicine updates and perspectives. As always, there will be a range of activities from Yoga to a group run, journalling to dancing the night away at our evening event.

All of this will ensure you leave ÌÇÐÄVlog2026 feeling connected, balanced and empowered with practical, implementable, evidence-based knowledge & skills to support you in your role and prepare you for the upcoming changes to our new neighbourhood health system and opportunity to innovate our delivery of care.

I look forward to welcoming you to University of Warwick in September.

~ Dr Frances Elliot

Can’t make it to Warwick? Watch Virtually!


As Lifestyle Medicine continues to grow in its adoption into mainstream healthcare, as does the general level of interest from around the world. While we would always encourage everyone to come to ÌÇÐÄVlog 2026 in person – as it provides the best possible experience – we do appreciate that it is not always possible for everyone, every year.

With that in mind, we provide the option to buy virtual tickets to the conference allowing you to enjoy the packed three-day programme at the highest quality from wherever you are in the world! These tickets enable you to watch live on the day and on demand at a time that suits you. (Please note that virtual tickets do not provide in-person hours for these studying towards lifestyle medicine qualifications and as a result provide reduced CPD compared to in-person attendees)

Core Accreditation Students CPD


If you have signed up for the Lifestyle Medicine Core Accreditation, attendance at our annual conference is the best way to obtain your 10 hours of in-person Lifestyle Medicine specific CPD. If you purchased the bundle option, your ticket is included.

Live in-person requirement is included so that people in the movement can experience the energy, enthusiasm and motivation that comes from a gathering of likeminded individuals, networking with others to get traction with their newfound knowledge and form relationships to take delivery forward. Whilst virtual tickets for the conference are available for other delegates, in person attendance is compulsory as a pre-requisite to qualifying.

(If you attended either ÌÇÐÄVlog 2022 (Tottenham), ÌÇÐÄVlog 2023 (Manchester), ÌÇÐÄVlog 2024 (Newcastle) or ÌÇÐÄVlog 2025 (Brighton) in-person, then this will count towards your in-person learning requirement)

Is this your first ÌÇÐÄVlog Conference and/or Evening Event? We often hear from those new to our events that they’re worried ÌÇÐÄVlog not knowing anyone and can understand that may feel daunting. No need for concern though – Our community of like-minded healthcare professionals are very welcoming and many of the long-standing relationships were formed at these very events. We have networking opportunities throughout the 3 days to drive connection and engagement. Kicking off with regional catchups over lunch the very first day to drop in options with our team from Learning Academy to Trustee’s throughout … there’ll always be someone to chat to, share learnings and most importantly, buddy up so you never feel alone. Whilst anyone can join our conference and evening event (i.e. Partners included), most people are there alone and quickly form bonds that see them meeting up again year on year. If you’re concerned at all, just get in touch and we’d be happy to facilitate introductions before the event.
