Hi,
I’m Will Bostock GP and director of Cambridge Progressive Medicine. I have recently started on the NHS clinical entrepreneurs’ scheme and am developing a project which aims to create a structured primary care programme that explores health beliefs as a direct therapeutic target. It is designed to address mental and physical health in a single intervention, and focuses on mind:body interaction and health education regarding the psycho-social-spiritual determinants of health.
The concept is to use F2F clinician time in conjunction with a digital resource (The Cambridge Progressive Medicine Podcast) to maximise impact and create a cost-effective resource deliverable within the NHS. We are also developing a digital ACT resource to sit alongside the health education material (cf the new NICE guideline which recommends ACT for primary pain, despite this not being widely available in many areas).
We are in the processes of creating a group of likeminded clinicians with an interest in this area to help shape the programme, and I would love to hear from anyone who is interested in being involved. We are holding an initial meeting over Zoom at 9am on Monday 14th June

A 3-minute video pitch for the project can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyuW4i4A6F4
A recent Q-community webinar which describes the background for this project is available here:

I look forward to hearing from you,
Will.
