NICE guidance on brief advice for physical activity

Generally it seems like a good thing when NICE produces clinical guidance for evidence-based lifestyle interventions - helping to make them more officially part of good clinical care. So it's good to see them publish "Physical activity: brief advice for adults in primary care".

The recommendations cover:

  • identifying adults who are inactive
  • delivering brief advice
  • following up brief advice
  • incorporating brief advice in commissioning
  • systems to support brief advice
  • information and training to support brief advice.
