| BACR: Advanced Application to Physical Activity and Exercise in the Management of Cardiovascular Disease (PART II) |
| Provides an excellent follow on from the ‘A Practical approach to Physical Activity and Exercise in the management of Cardiovascular Disease’ course. |
| This course aims to encourage all professionals delivering the exercise component of cardiac rehabilitation to explore current practice and guidelines. Clinical reasoning skills will be encouraged through facilitated workshops to enable practitioners to interpret and adapt evidence in order to manage patients whose status falls outside the recommended guidelines. The exercise implications and practicalities of the more complex patient groups will be explored. Consolidation of existing knowledge and further understanding will give confidence in future practice. |
