This course aims to increase awareness of the impact of physical activity and exercise in this patient group through developing an understanding of the relationship between risk assessment, baseline functional assessment and subsequent exercise prescription. Physiological mechanisms relating to heart failure are explored and principles in exercise prescription are applied to enable adaptations in respect to co-morbidity and cardio-assistive devices. Course delivery will be both lecture based and through interactive case study discussion. Knowledge gained will enable delegates to deliver safe, effective, evidence-based practice.
Course Date: 07/09/2024
Time: 9am-5pm
Target participant level: Introductory/Intermediate
This course will be open for expressions of interest as it is limited to 20 places. See accompanying application form below.
