The 7NPs are trying to help create healthier Australians by providing them with a simple, fun, colourful diagnostic tool. The 7NP’s holistic health framework is designed to empower individuals so that healthcare can be practiced on a day by day basis……..minute by minute if necessary.
The 7NP's pie chart can be used for assessing, prioritising and addressing daily healthcare needs. Personal healthcare needs are not static; they are a dynamic phenomena. They can vary (sometimes quite dramatically) on a daily, weekly or seasonal basis. Learning to attend to the 7NP's simple healthcare messages can help individuals guard against the unnecessary development of illness or disease.
YES!!!! They are easily remembered by their saying ‘Attitude is the ANSWER.’ Attitude is the first health aid and ANSWER stands for Air, Nutrition, Sunshine, Water, Exercise and Rest.
The 7NPs consist of both male and female doctors and represent all the nations and cultures of the world. Dr Vi Tality who is responsible for the ‘exercise’ portfolio has already captured the hearts of the Indigenous children.

The 7NPs innocent, gentle and somewhat ‘quirky’ personalities allow them to cross all age barriers. They are an ideal vehicle for transporting important health information from teacher to student, doctor to patient, parent to child, grandparent to grandchild, etc. Adults love the doctors. It doesn't take them long to play the game to help settle their children, e.g. “Come on… why don’t you have a rest? You are very tired. What would Dr Zizz want you to do?”
Teachers, doctors, allied health practitioners and counselors, family, friends….anyone who is genuinely interested in promoting the health and wellbeing of those who are in their care.
