Parkrun Practice Initiative
University Medical Centre joins parkrun practice initiative
As part of our commitment to the health and wellbeing of our staff and patients and wider community, University Medical Centre has linked with Canterbury parkrun and is now officially a parkrun practice. The parkrun practice initiative is a collaboration between the Royal College of General Practitioners and parkrun UK, designed to encourage practices across the UK to develop close links with their local parkrun.
Parkruns are social physical activity events which are held every Saturday morning. People can walk, run, volunteer or come along and watch. Taking part in parkrun is the perfect opportunity for people of all ages to be active, with others, in the open air, supporting not only your physical health but also your mental health.
By linking with Canterbury parkrun we want to inspire as many people as possible to lead healthy lifestyles, including practice staff.
