Level 1: Longevity Medicine Foundation Certification

Unlock the fundamentals of Longevity Medicine and begin applying them directly in your clinical practice. This CPD-accredited Level 1: Longevity Medicine Foundation Certification is designed for registered healthcare professionals who want to stay ahead of emerging health trends by integrating preventative, lifestyle-focused strategies into routine care.

The programme introduces the science of ageing and explores its relevance in modern healthcare — from understanding the differences between biological and chronological age, to the concepts of healthspan versus lifespan, and the increasing demand from patients for longevity-led interventions.

Through a symptom-led framework, the course examines how lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress, movement, and nutrition influence the ageing process, vitality, and chronic disease risk. You’ll learn how to identify early signs of age-related decline, use practical screening tools in clinic, and support patients through meaningful conversations about prevention and wellbeing.

Whether you’re new to the field or looking to expand your approach to lifestyle medicine, this course provides a clear, clinical foundation for confidently embedding Longevity Medicine into your everyday consultations.
