This new Physical Activity e-module aims to support health professionals in routinely promoting physical activity in their professional practice. The new training platform for Physical Activity, lends support and recognition to the demands and time constraints many health professionals face in today’s busy health care system.
It was developed in partnership with the ICGP (Irish College of General Practitioners) and in collaboration with the Faculty of Sports & Exercise Medicine, the Irish Practice Nurses Association and Get Ireland Active. The eLearning module is available to health professionals via http://www.hseland.ie/tohm/default.asp and to GP’s through the ICGP http://www.icgp-education.ie/physical-activity/
This accredited course contains video lessons and resources on topics such as the National Physical Activity Guidelines, health benefits of physical activity, assessment of physical activity, motivational interviewing, guidelines on exercise prescription and physical activity in the management of chronic conditions. On completion of the course you will understand the importance of promoting physical activity, be more confident in prescribing physical activity, and understand where your client/patient are in terms of their attitude to changing their physical activity behaviour.
