Active Practice Accreditation
We are very proud to announce that Castle Medical Group have been accredited by the Royal College of General Practitioners as an Active Practice.
What is an Active Practice?
A declaration to commit to increasing activity and reducing sedentary behaviour in both staff and patients. The Active Practice Charter is a fun and easy way to make some simple but impactful changes that will demonstrate that 'movement is the best medicine'.
Some examples include:
- Promotion of events and local fitness groups
- Cycle to your appointment, we have bicycle racks
- Clinicians to greet patients and turn off call screens on a regular basis
- Standing area for patients in the waiting room
You can visit the 'Active Together - Active Practice' website to find out more information:
