There are no pre-requisites for this module to be added

This module is solely for assessment for eligibility for you to apply for AHCS registration, it could be possible that a student could pass this degree without being fully competent to practice. Therefore, in addition to successfully completing 180 credits of the MSc Clinical Exercise Physiology, this non-credit bearing pass/fail module allows you to demonstrate your competencies, and if all three competencies are passed, you can prepare to apply for the AHCS registration process. All teaching content will be delivered across all the credit bearing modules, and three separate competency assessments, based on AHCS required clinical competencies, will be arranged within the programme schedule. You will be assessed on these, in person, as set out by the CEP-UK scope of practice https://www.clinicalexercisephysiology.org.uk/_files/ugd/dc94ed_bfda008de9244490832c9df31603be06.pdf

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Understand the physiological, psychological, social, behavioural and cultural factors that influence health status, including its management using exercise and physical activity interventions.

LO2: Understand the effect of disease, disorder and dysfunction and their prescribed medicines, on acute exercise response and chronic adaptation to exercise and physical activity interventions.

LO3: Undertake and record a thorough, appropriate and detailed assessment of health status and history to guide exercise risk stratification using evidence-based methods.

LO4: Select, conduct and interpret appropriate evidence-based tools for the assessment and monitoring of clinical status and functional capacity.

LO5: Apply problem solving and clinical reasoning to assessment findings to plan and prioritise appropriate exercise and physical activity goal-setting and support methods.

LO6: Plan, design, prescribe and deliver personalised evidence-based exercise and physical activity interventions based on health status, functional capacity and aetiology.

LO7: Deliver and evaluate safe exercise- based programmes for individuals and within group settings, using appropriate evidence-based monitoring methods.

LO8: Provide evidence-based education and advice to support behaviour change including self-management of long- term exercise and physical activity engagement.
