Project Description
The field of Exercise Medicine is evolving rapidly driven by exponential increases in new knowledge through research and growing clinical understanding. Combined with expanding integration into mainstream patient management it is increasingly difficult to stay at the forefront without regular professional development and education. The Team at MyExerciseMedicine is analysing the latest research findings on a daily basis and integrating into our own clinical practice. Through our education and training services we can help clinicians, organisations and companies get up to speed quickly and maintain cutting edge Exercise Medicine services.
Online and Face to Face Education and Training
MyExerciseMedicine offers a number of online, face to face and practical courses and workshops.
We can also custom design courses and workshops to client needs.
Both of our exercise oncology courses are 100% online to accommodate Covid19 restrictions and include:

In this course we concentrate on developing skills and knowledge of exercise assessment, prescription, supervision, monitoring, exercise technique, motivating behaviour change, prescribing safe and effective exercise for people with cancer.
