Imperial College London Self-Care Academic Research Unit (SCARU) (Imperial SCARU) is the first university academic unit dedicated specifically to the study of self-care. Imperial SCARU was formally launched at the 19th Annual Self-Care Conference in London. SCARU’s vision is to be the leading academic base for self-care, focused on the contributions that individuals, healthcare professionals and other stakeholders can make to help people improve wellbeing, prevent disease and self-manage existing conditions and what are increasingly recognised as ‘lifestyle diseases’.

Woodwork to Wellness is a combination of both Lifestyle as an actual medicine and as a means towards treating illnesses and partly towards creating overall general health gains. This combination of the two came together to create woodwork to wellness. However, not everyone has a health or wellbeing issue, but what everyone does do, is thoroughly enjoy their time at the SHED.
To understand Woodwork to Wellness it is important to understand some of the background regarding the founder, Graham Stephens. Graham is qualified internationally in Lifestyle Medicine as a Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner and a founder member of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine (BSLM).
