Very brief advice on physical activity  from healthcare professionals has been shown to improve clinical outcomes. This training focuses on practical tips to easily integrate this into every day clinical practice.

1 in 4 patients would be more active if advised by a GP or nurse. But as many as 72% of GPs do not speak about the benefits of physical activity to patients.

There are a lot of resources out there to help. This training covers many of these, including the new Chief Medical Officers’ infographic resource for health professionals.

Available across England until 31 March 2017.
