Abstract
The promotion of health and wellbeing in clinical education and practice is complex, and yet it is fundamental to generalist forms of health-care. When done well, it has the potential to address many of the risk factors for common non-communicable diseases driving a more equitable, regenerative and sustainable healthcare system. It is intrinsically participatory as patients must be active partners in addressing their own risk factors for disease and strategies for wellbeing. It requires multiple lenses on complex real-world problems as well as collaborative intersectoral working, and it benefits from longitudinal, relationship-based care.
