Key facts about Certified Specialist Programme in Exercise Therapy for Cancer Care

Why this course?

The Certified Specialist Programme in Exercise Therapy for Cancer Care is increasingly significant in the UK's evolving healthcare landscape. With approximately 400,000 new cancer diagnoses annually, the demand for qualified professionals in this specialised field is surging. Current trends indicate a growing recognition of exercise oncology’s role in improving patient outcomes, yet only a small percentage of diagnosed individuals currently receive exercise therapy referrals (estimated at around 50,000 in 2023, based on extrapolated data). This highlights a critical need for more specialists. This programme equips professionals with the essential skills and knowledge to deliver evidence-based exercise interventions, addressing the physical and psychological challenges faced by cancer patients. The Certified Specialist Programme therefore directly addresses the current capacity gap and contributes to improved cancer care standards.
