In collaboration with Deakin University’s Food & Mood Centre, ASLM have worked to develop clinical practice guidelines to provide clinicians with up-to-date, evidence-based information on the management of major depressive disorder (MDD) using lifestyle-based approaches. Accompanying these guidelines, we have also developed consumer resources to help those living with MDD understand the latest evidence into lifestyle-based care for MDD.
What does ASLM plan to achieve over the next two years? Our Strategic Plan outlines the specific ways we will develop an extensive Lifestyle Medicine workforce, disrupt the current system, drive innovation, and deliver our objectives by 2024.
This statement outlines solutions to three current challenges in primary care in Australia. These solutions take into consideration preventing and better managing chronic disease, adopting innovation in the primary care model, and supporting the health workforce to enable delivery of the new models.
ASLM’s submission to the inquiry was accepted this month and centred on a variety of aspects relating to the opportunities presented by Lifestyle Medicine and inclusive models of care, such as Shared Medical Appointments in the prevention, treatment and where both possible and appropriate, the remission of type 2 diabetes.
