Choosing Wisely

Frome Medical Practice has always been guided by a simple but powerful purpose: supporting health. And that also means caring for the environment we all share. Sustainability is not an add-on for the practice – it’s a core value that shapes everyday decisions.

The Choosing Wisely project gave the practice the opportunity to run trials to improve the health and wellbeing for both patients and staff, while reducing environmental impact. It connected local people with green health opportunities across Frome as well as helping patients to make informed, green choices about prescriptions and lifestyle.

For patients

For patients, the focus for Frome Medical Practice continues to be:

Supporting patients healthy lifestyles and activities to improve physical and mental health and prevent illness.
Refer to Frome Practice Health Connections Team who will help patients find support in making healthy lifestyle choices. Whether that stopping smoking, or being more physically active, reducing stress or sleeping better they can help you find the community groups and or resources that will help you make this positive changes.
Choosing prescribed medications which are most effective and better for the planet, learn more here.
Reducing unnecessary and wasted medication by making sure patients have just what they need, and working with patients so that medications, like inhalers are disposed of safely rather than entering our rivers and landfill.
Targeting testing for patients specific health needs and preferences
