Watch again: The role of healthcare professionals webinar
Following the release of a report into the role healthcare professionals have in supporting disabled people to be more physically active Activity Alliance hosted a webinar to discuss the findings.
Activity Alliance and Better Decisions Together undertook research to explore the role healthcare professionals play in positively impacting disabled people’s health and wellbeing through promoting physical activity. The project focused on researching areas of good practice and disabled people’s experiences of positive support.
The research includes good practice case studies, identifying features of success and common challenges.
To accompany the report Activity Alliance staff were joined by experts for an hour-long webinar to discuss the key research findings. A series of recommendations for healthcare professionals and integrated care systems to ensure more disabled people are better supported into physical activity in the future were raised.
