Lifescripts - index

The Lifescripts initiative provides general practice with tools and skills to help patients address the main lifestyle risk factors for chronic disease: smoking; poor nutrition; alcohol misuse; physical inactivity; and unhealthy weight. The initiative assists with the provision of tailored advice to patients on modifying their lifestyle.

About Lifescripts

Lifescripts is a national initiative, being implemented through local divisions of general practice, promoting risk factor management in general practice and primary health care services.

The Lifescripts Resources aim to make it easier for GPs and their practices to manage lifestyle-related risk factors by providing a framework for:

• raising and discussing lifestyle risk factors with patients;
• advice in the form of a written script and associated patient education; and
• referral to other providers to support healthy lifestyle.
