OVERVIEW

British Society of Lifestyle Medicine (BSLM) 2026 Annual Conference is organized by British Society of Lifestyle Medicine (BSLM) and will be held from Sep 10 - 12, 2026 at Warwick Arts Centre, Coventry, England, United Kingdom.

Description:
Join us and be part of something special, as BSLM 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.

Theme:
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 BSLM2026!
