This special event is organised by the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine (ASLM) and bears the theme 'The Evolution of Practice'.

The boutique event emphasises the urgent need for health system change, in addition to social, environmental and political change. It also points out the critical role lifestyle medicine plays in addressing the current chronic and lifestyle-related disease epidemic.

Lifestyle medicine bridges the gap between health promotion and clinical practice. It is an evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach to health that empowers practitioners to holistically address the root cause of disease while also inspiring individuals to take charge of their own health.
