Interprofessional Skills Based Behavioural Health For Health Professionals

Learn effective interventions for chronic diseases through behaviour change and lifestyle modification.

By focusing on behaviour change and lifestyle modifications, allied health professionals and nurses play crucial roles in promoting preventive measures, identifying risk factors, and providing early interventions to prevent the onset or progression of chronic diseases.

When these interventions are integrated, they enable a comprehensive management of chronic diseases, addressing both medical and lifestyle aspects, in collaboration with healthcare professionals such as doctors or nurses.

This approach aims to improve clients' quality of life and promote healthy ageing in Singapore.
