Physical Activity for the Prevention and Management of Long-Term Conditions

A national network of expert Physical Activity Clinical Champions is delivering FREE tailored, peer to peer 1-3 hours training sessions to groups of healthcare professionals (HCPs).

Around 1 in 3 men and half of women are not achieving recommended levels of activity for good health, with people with long term conditions twice as likely to be amongst the least active. Physical activity is incorporated across NICE clinical guidance, with evidence suggesting 1 in 4 people would be more active if advised by a GP or nurse.

These free online Physical Activity Clinical Champion Workshops are aimed at healthcare professionals, to highlight the benefits that Physical Activity can have on both physical and mental health. Such as; Depression, Type 2 diabetes, CVD and some cancers.  Jan Sinclair has also written a blog about the course, which can be found Here.
