@iotwatch @MsJaneLawson Awesome meeting you today! What a lovely group of people the event brought together.

@BrettSmithProf @JamiebRNutr @Suedewhirst1 Thanks for sharing Brett great article. ‘Physical activity’ and ‘movement’ keep coming up as useful

Physical activity needs to be embedded into the culture of care homes in Scotland, according to new research by the University of Stirling https://t.co/DLAyfp4SQ5

[Sport England @Sport_England]

Tom Underwood of NHS Horizons looks at the innovative partnership between the #SportEngland, @NHSEngland and @OHID on the Moving Healthcare Professionals Programme.

The initiative aims to embed physical activity within health systems to support people to stay healthy.

@hollium @jecgrant Think of the hours we could have spent debating that tyre if you hadn’t gone and gotten your phone out James !

[Kenny Butler @KennyPhysio]

@TomUnderWords @KathEvans2 @zubaidihussain @nicolagitsham One option: support the ongoing transformation of gyms and pools into community hubs for people living with Long-term Conditions! - accessible, warm and close to home with NICE-approved physical activity interventions and personalised, inclusive care https://t.co/ItSmMnAL2X

We need to share this recently release video far and wide. The simple answer is if healthcare professionals attend parkrun themselves for the first time they will actively start signposting it for patients. Gain the benefits then signpost others

[Tom Underwood @TomUnderWords]

Great question - how can the NHS encourage self-referral to the many amazing physical activity services out there like park run? @KathEvans2 @zubaidihussain @nicolagitsham @KennyPhysio #SolvingTogether

[Andrew Power @behaviourchange]

@ST_Transform #SolvingTogether can’t make it to the tweet chat this evening 😟 but thought the new ‘Swimming as Medicine’ film from @Swim_England and @zubaidihussain @rcgp might be relevant - encouraging HCPs to recommend aquatic activity patients 👏🏻

[Tom Underwood @TomUnderWords]

Awesome film! Swimming as medicine 🏊🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

[Swim England @Swim_England]

On #SocialPrescribingDay, we've teamed up with @rcgp to launch ‘Swimming as Medicine’ and encourage healthcare professionals to consider recommending swimming and aquatic activity to their patients 💧

Work of @JoHenrich illustrates much more sophisticated relationship between cooperation and competition (it’s not an either/or). The below sounds a bit WEIRD imo.

I thought the critiques of mainstream economics education might be caricatured, until I started studying.

This slide was shown at the beginning of my undergrad-level micro course, with no offer of alternative starting assumptions or any critical discussion.

Grateful for opportunity to watch the recording from this morning’s #GMMoving Health Integration, design session. A great distillation of the learning so far & exploration of how we build on this collectively to integrate moving across the whole health system. #Beatingheart 💗
