The Movement Prescription

Welcome to The Movement Prescription, the podcast where movement meets medicine. Hosted by three dynamic GPs, Dr. Callum Leese, Dr. Suzy Scarlett, and Dr. Hussain Al-Zubaidi, this show is your go-to resource for understanding the transformative power of physical activity in healthcare.

Backed by the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine, The Movement Prescription shares the society's bold vision: transforming healthcare and tackling health inequalities through the principles of lifestyle medicine.

Designed for everyone but with health professionals in mind, this podcast aims to educate, inspire, and empower listeners to integrate physical activity into healthcare settings. Whether you're a clinician, a health advocate, or someone passionate about promoting well-being, our episodes offer actionable insights, real-world examples, and expert interviews.

In Season Two, we dive deeper, challenging misconceptions about physical activity and exploring innovative ways to address it across diverse healthcare scenarios, including for disease-specific groups. Join us as we unlock the potential of movement to revolutionize health and bridge the gaps in healthcare for a healthier, more equitable future.

In season 3, a new series of The Movement Prescription brings together Hussain, Suzy and Callum for six engaging conversations on the power of physical activity to transform health and wellbeing. Across a wide range of topics—from multiple sclerosis and diabetes to prehabilitation—they explore how movement can be promoted in real-world clinical and community settings. Joined by inspiring guests, including consultant orthopaedic surgeon and BMJ columnist Ms Scarlett McNally, this series blends evidence, experience and practical insight to champion movement as medicine.

Tune in, and let’s get moving, together.
