John and I were delighted to meet Dr Hussain Al Zubaidi – a TV Doctor, the Royal College of GPs physical activity champion, a very good triathlete, and the Parkrun health lead; the Swim England medical advisor and somehow still manages to fit in being a GP one day a week!
In a fascinating and personal discussion, Hussain tells us he’s faced his own health challenges and how he himself used physical activity to turn his life around to great effect.
Now, he is leading the way for GPs who want to utilise physical activity to improve people’s lives, and in this session, he explains how we, as leisure operators, can link effectively with GPs. He also has a superb answer that blew us away to the question of whether the sector should remain sitting in the DCMS or move to health. Lots to glean from this one – please enjoy!
