Exercise Professionals Supporting the Healthcare Sector

The goal....

  • More People
  • More Active
  • More Often
  • More Healthy

"Physical activity not only contributes to well-being, but is also essential for good health. People who are physically active reduce their risk of developing major chronic diseases - such as coronary heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes - by up to 50%, and risk of premature death by about 20-30%" Chief Medical Officer - Department of Health


The Scheme
An exercise referral scheme where health practitioners can confidently refer patients onto a qualified exercise professional can bridge the gap between two sectors that have the same goals: to improve the experience of the service user and so optimise their success to move their health in a positive direction. In working together we can more effectively improve health in the community and improve the efficiency of all our services. The intention is to provide a personal training service at a discounted rate for people who are referred to Full Body Fit from the health service. Full Body Fit will ensure any requirements set out by the clinic are met and work in partnership to provide future improvement and development.

The Benefits
Many patients who attend clinics on a regular basis or who are on long term medication are unlikely to attend a leisure facility and may require individual exercise prescription or one-to-one encouragement. An exercise referral scheme that could be monitored by healthcare practitioners and undertaken in the comfort of the user’s home with a qualified trainer, could be more successful at creating a safer, more effective and enjoyable experience. The health benefits of regular physical activity are evident and the aim of this is to achieve self-sustaining activity levels long term.
