The power of human connection…

@wellrunbrum is a movement which brings all abilities together to get men’s mental wellness on track through free-to-access fortnightly 5KM social runs in Birmingham.

Each run begins with a guest speaker - a pace maker for the conversation - providing inspiration and motivation before setting off on a 5KM run around the city.

Dr Gareth Patterson, known as @theirishgp, shares informative videos on Instagram and TikTok covering common medical complaints and stress management techniques.

The Belfast born doctor qualified at Queen’s University Belfast in July 2012 with a Distinction and has a specialist interest in Mental Health and Wellbeing, Paediatric Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and LGBTQIA+ Health. Experienced in Care of the Elderly, Rehabilitation Medicine and Cardiology, he has also spent a number of years involved in medical education with students and junior doctors.

As a GP working in London he is passionate about patient care, health promotion, disease prevention, and wellbeing.

When we prioritise our mental health and wellbeing, we unlock the potential for greatness in every aspect of our lives.

This weekend, we took Brum out of the city for a 5KM around Soho Farmhouse.

Multi-talented stage star, broadcaster and winner the 14th series of Strictly Come Dancing, Ore Oduba spoke openly and honestly about his 🌽 addiction and his recovery journey.

Explicit content is more accessible than ever. Carrying this message of recovery is so vital to help change people’s lives.
