GP/Exercise Referral
An exercise referral is a specific and formalised programme whereby a medical professional refers a patient to a fitness programme. It is not the same as a 'recommendation' to exercise. Typically these ensure a 12 week supervised programme of physical activity tailored to suit the needs of the referrer and the referred client, with a view to improving their state of health.
This specialist qualification was developed to ensure the safe and effective programming for clients with a range of medical conditions.
