Focus Training GP Referral training course

Focus Training

The Focus Training GP Referral training course leads to a CYQ Level 3 Exercise Referral award.

GP Referral training course aim

The Focus Training GP Referral qualification aims to provide you with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to plan, deliver, manage and evaluate a safe, effective and progressive physical activity programme for referred clients with specific controlled conditions. You will learn the signs, symptoms and basic pathology of specific controlled conditions and how the medication associated with these conditions can affect your client. You will learn how to design progressive exercise programmes taking into account physical, emotional and medicinal contraindications to meet an individual's needs.

GP Referral course content

You will be required to complete a series of home study units prior to attending the assessment days. In these you will complete tasks associated with the effects and implications of medication. Once completed you will attend a 2-day workshop. Here you will learn the practical and theoretical skills behind programme design and implementation. You will then have 6 weeks to complete a theoretical case study and submit this for assessment prior to attending a 3rd day for your practical assessment and viva.
