Updated Physical Health and Activity elearning programme
Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has worked with the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities to refresh the content in the Physical Health and Activity programme.
Physical activity is one of can be one of the most important tools in the healthcare professional’s toolkit for condition management. It can lead to improved clinical outcomes in over 30 different chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and several cancers type 2 diabetes, and be as effective as medication in many instances: hypertension, stroke, and mild-to-moderate depression, to name just a few.
This updated elearning course prepares GPs, nurses and other healthcare professionals to champion the benefits of physical activity with their patients and help prevent and manage a number of health conditions.
The eleven elearning modules identify the benefits of physical activity and explore the ways in which it can be applied to prevent and manage a number of health conditions. The course familiarises the learner with how physical activity can benefit a number of different population groups including, children, pregnant women and older people as well as considering musculoskeletal health, the CMO guidelines and how to use motivational techniques to encourage behaviour change in patients.
An Introduction to Physical Health and Activity is also available in the elearning programme.
