ELEVATE Returns to London to Showcase the Future of Wellness and Preventative Healthcare

ELEVATE by Mumble Forum returns to London, bringing together leading experts to explore longevity, AI healthcare, women's health, nutrition and the future of wellness.

The future of wellness, longevity and preventative healthcare will take centre stage in London this month as ELEVATE by Mumble Forum returns for its second edition.

Taking place on 20 June at Fulham Pier, the event has quickly established itself as one of the UK's most exciting gatherings for health and wellness professionals, entrepreneurs, clinicians and consumers interested in the rapidly evolving world of wellbeing.

Founded by award-winning entrepreneur Monique Hodgson, ELEVATE aims to bring together leading voices from across the wellness sector to discuss the trends, technologies and ideas shaping how we care for our physical and mental health in the years ahead.

As more people focus on maintaining their health rather than simply treating illness, topics such as longevity, personalised nutrition, hormone health, cognitive performance and preventative medicine are attracting growing attention. ELEVATE reflects this shift, offering a packed programme designed to help attendees understand emerging developments and practical approaches to improving overall wellbeing.

Among the headline discussions are sessions exploring biohacking techniques for managing stress and regulating the nervous system, the future of women's health, advances in nutrition and supplementation, and the role of artificial intelligence in healthcare.

Experts from a range of disciplines will share their insights, including doctors, nutrition specialists, wellness entrepreneurs, psychologists and healthcare innovators. Discussions will examine how technology and data are increasingly being used to personalise healthcare, while also addressing broader issues such as healthy ageing, recovery, resilience and mental wellbeing.

Beyond the speaker programme, visitors will have the opportunity to take part in wellness workshops, fitness sessions and immersive experiences designed to put theory into practice. A variety of wellness brands will also be showcasing products and services focused on longevity, functional nutrition, fitness and holistic health.

The event is being organised by Mumble Forum, a community dedicated to supporting women through entrepreneurship, education, innovation and collaboration. Since its launch, the organisation has developed a strong reputation for creating events that sit at the intersection of health, business and personal development.

As conversations around preventative healthcare continue to gain momentum, ELEVATE aims to provide a platform where education, innovation and community can come together.

For anyone interested in the future of wellness, health optimisation and healthy ageing, ELEVATE promises a fascinating day of learning, inspiration and practical insight into the next generation of healthcare and wellbeing.

Global Wellness Day: Small Changes That Can Transform Your Health

Global Wellness Day: A Reminder to Put Your Health First.

Celebrate Global Wellness Day by making simple lifestyle changes that support your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

Discover easy ways to prioritise your health.

Every year, people around the world come together to celebrate Global Wellness Day, a movement dedicated to living a healthier, happier and more balanced life.

Held on the second Saturday of June, Global Wellness Day is built around a simple but powerful idea: one day can change your whole life. It encourages people to pause, reflect and make positive choices that support their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

In today's fast-paced world, many of us spend our days juggling work, family commitments, household tasks and endless digital distractions. It can be easy to put our own health at the bottom of the priority list. Global Wellness Day serves as a gentle reminder that looking after ourselves is not a luxury – it's essential.

Wellness Means Different Things to Different People

Wellness isn't just about going to the gym or following the latest diet trend. True wellness is a holistic concept that includes physical health, mental wellbeing, emotional balance and social connections.

For some people, wellness may mean taking a daily walk in the fresh air. For others, it could involve reducing stress, improving sleep, spending more time with loved ones or making healthier food choices.

The key message of Global Wellness Day is that small, sustainable changes can have a big impact over time.

Simple Ways to Mark Global Wellness Day

You don't need expensive equipment or a major lifestyle overhaul to take part. Here are a few simple ideas:

Take a walk in nature. Or even take a walk around the estate you live in.

Switch off your phone for a few hours.

Drink more water throughout the day.

Try a relaxation technique such as meditation or deep breathing.

Enjoy a healthy, home-cooked meal.

Spend quality time with family or friends.

Go to bed a little earlier and prioritise sleep.

Even one positive action can help you feel more energised and focused.

A Good Time for a Health Check-In

Global Wellness Day is also an excellent opportunity to reflect on your current habits. Are you getting enough exercise? Are you managing stress effectively? Are you making time for activities that bring you joy?

Wellness is not about perfection. It's about making choices that support your overall health and wellbeing, one step at a time.

As Global Wellness Day reminds us, investing in our health today can lead to a happier, healthier future. Whether you make one small change or several, there's no better time to start than now.

After all, your wellbeing is one of the most valuable investments you will ever make.

Calderdale GPs Pioneer Innovative Approach to NHS Staff Wellness

Healthcare professionals across Calderdale are now being offered an exciting new opportunity to enhance their health and fitness by way of a groundbreaking workplace wellness initiative.

The innovative programme encourages staff to increase their physical activity levels through engaging team-based challenges and digital tracking technology.

September marked the start of Pennine GP Alliance’s inaugural wellbeing challenge, designed to reward staff who complete 15 minutes of daily exercise. 

After four weeks of competition, the highest-scoring team of employees will be crowned champions, after which participants will continue to be encouraged with similar gamified activity.

This pioneering programme is delivered by Active Teams and funded by Active Calderdale, addressing a critical local health challenge. 

Currently, one-third of adults in the Calderdale area do not engage in regular physical activity, significantly impacting their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.

Healthcare professionals working within the Calder & Ryburn Primary Care Network will be the first to be offered access to Active Teams, with further Primary Care Networks in Calderdale following suit.

By investing in the wellness of those who care for our communities, this programme represents a significant step towards creating healthier workplaces and, ultimately, a healthier local population.

"Physical activity brings significant benefits to peoples' mental and physical health, but it isn’t a habit for everyone. We’re proud to support our staff’s wellbeing through this initiative and look forward to seeing how their experiences inspire patients. When healthcare staff make activity part of their lives, they can share its benefits in a more meaningful way," Hannah Davies, General Practice Physical Activity Champion at Pennine GP Alliance told That's Health.

“We need innovative approaches to support the NHS' shift from treatment to prevention. Services like Active Teams, which encourage people towards reaching healthy levels of physical activity through fun team competitions and challenges, are going to be an important piece of the puzzle. Many people are employed in sedentary roles and more employers should be considering preventative health measures like Active Teams, to increase staff health, wellbeing and productivity,” Nairn Robertson, Founder of Active Team added.

The initiative to promote fitness among front line NHS staff aligns with the government's strategy to start increasing physical activity levels nationwide. The approach prioritises healthcare workers on the frontlines of our health services, as detailed in the recent government whitepaper "Get Britain Working” and “Fit For The Future: 10 Year Health Plan for England”.

The Health Impact: Research demonstrates that just 22 minutes of moderate physical activity per day can deliver remarkable health benefits:

- Reducing stress and anxiety by up to 30%*

- Lowering the risk of chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes by 40%**

- Minimising musculoskeletal problems, a leading cause of workplace absence across the UK***

Moderate activity is where your heart rate is raised, making you breathe harder and break a sweat, but so that you can still talk.

FACTFILE:-

Active Calderdale works with communities to make physical activity a normal part of everyday life. As part of the wider 'We’re All Active Calderdale' network, Active Calderdale helps promote movement, increase opportunities to be active, and encourage collaboration across sectors - particularly focusing on underrepresented or inactive groups. This collective effort brings wide-ranging benefits, including improved health and wellbeing, stronger social cohesion, and positive economic impact.
