Physical Activity Clinical Champions Training for Healthcare Professionals

Join us for a free online training course that aims to improve your knowledge, skills and confidence to deliver brief physical activity interventions as part of your clinical care.

The training is produced by Public Health England and Sport England with National Lottery funding. It is delivered by Alessandra Morelli, Research Midwife, lecturer in midwifery and Clinical Champion for Physical Activity.

This interactive session includes a review of epidemiological and biological evidence, supplemented by small group discussion.

• Access evidence-based resources proven to increase knowledge and confidence, and support clinical practice in line with guidance (e.g. NICE)
• Improve management and care of patients with 30+ long-term conditions (e.g. CVD, type 2 diabetes, depression, MSK issues, some cancers).
• Help reduce service demand and costs i.e. the ~£0.9bn annual cost to the NHS associated with insufficient physical activity
• Hear about how Everyday Active (www.everydayactivekent.org.uk) can help you to support your patients to get more active and to find appropriate local opportunities
