Prescribing movement

Moving Medicine is an initiative by the Faculty of Sport & Exercise Medicine in partnership with Public Health England and Sport England. They work with clinicians, hospitals and patients to spread the word about the remarkably positive effects that just a little bit of movement can have on the symptoms of many common diseases.

Moving Medicine have developed 10 toolkits, each tailored for specific conditions: Cancer, COPD, Dementia, Depression, Falls and Frailty, Inflammatory Rheumatic Disease, Ischaemic Heart Disease, Musculoskeletal pain, Disease prevention and Type 2 Diabetes.

The toolkits will support conversations with patients no matter how much (or little) time available.
