General Practice is well placed to reduce the burden of chronic disease by promoting healthy lifestyles choices for all patients. Lifestyle risk factor management is especially important for patients at risk of developing a chronic disease, such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes, and for those with existing chronic diseases. 

GPGC aims to support general practice by facilitating activities to assist the practice team in the promotion of healthy lifestyle choices. Current initiatives include Lifescripts and the Type 2 Diabetes and Lifestyle Modification Program.
