This practical and applied course, fully accredited by the Academy of Healthcare Science (AHCS), will develop the specialised knowledge and skills required for a career as a registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist
There has never been a more pressing need for CEPs to support the health of the nation. The NHS and other health care providers are facing unprecedented demand for services while the experience of Covid highlighted and exacerbated issues related to an underlying physical inactivity epidemic. CEPs are University MSc qualified health professionals trained to screen, assess and apply clinical and scientific reasoning to ensure safety and appropriateness of exercise-based interventions that can support long term behaviour change; as professionals they are expected to advance their practice through continuing education, competency development and professional experience.
This course is accredited by the Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS) and graduates from the MSc in Clinical Exercise Physiology are eligible to register with the AHCS as clinical exercise physiologists.
This course is led by Dr Kevin Kipling, and our team of excellent academics have a lot to offer. You will experience their international reach and esteem, for example, Prof. Anna Campbell is a member of the WHO Cancer Rehabilitation 2030 working group. The team also have valuable applied clinical experience to bring to the classroom, are involved in developing the CEP-UK national curriculum, as well as the continued recognition and promotion of the CEP profession in the UK.
This MSc course will prepare you for a career as a CEP, so that you can:
· specialise in the prescription and delivery of evidence-based exercise interventions to optimise the prevention, treatment, and long-term management of acute, sub-acute, chronic and complex conditions.
· work in a range of primary, secondary, and tertiary care settings as part of a multidisciplinary team of health care and rehabilitation providers
· optimise physical function and health and promote long-term wellness through lifestyle modification and behaviour change across the lifespan.
