During this five-day course you'll explore the principles of exercise and physical activity in cardiac disease prevention and rehabilitation.
You'll learn how to apply these principles in design and delivery, using an evidence-based approach with a practical emphasis.
This course has a limited number of places so please check with the course administrator that there are spaces before applying.
This course is run by UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health in association with the British Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (BACPR).

About this course

This course will help you to:
understand and explain the physiological responses and adaptations of muscle to exercise and training
apply clinical reasoning to problems with cardiac rehabilitation exercise programmes for patient with cardiac disease
integrate and evaluate evidence in relation to the design of phase IV exercise programmes for cardiac disease patients
evaluate problem scenarios in relation to exercise programmes for CVD patients
implement emergency procedures for cardiac patients
conduct motivational interviews with respect to exercise and other health behaviours

You'll need to be a qualified physiotherapist, with a degree in physiotherapy at least equivalent to a lower second class Bachelor’s degree.
