Lifescripts

Lifescripts aims to build on preventive activities being undertaken in the primary health care system and provides general practice with tools to assist patients to make healthier lifestyle choices. It provides a framework for GPs, Practice Nurses and staff in the general practice setting to bring lifestyle risk factors to the fore in their engagement with patients.

Implementing Lifescripts involves discussing risk factors with patients, setting lifestyle change goals, providing written lifestyle prescriptions, organising ongoing review of lifestyle risk factors and referring patients to other services that support healthy lifestyle choices.
