Covid-19 Rehabilitation Training – Future Fit

In response to the ongoing impact of Long Covid, HSP is leading a Long Covid and Physical Activity Feasibility Project. This project offers funded access to Covid Rehabilitation training for physical activity providers in Hertfordshire, aiming to create more inclusive opportunities for individuals with mild to moderate Long Covid symptoms. Accredited by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA), participants can earn 3 CPD points upon completion. The training consists of five modules, covering various aspects of Covid and Long Covid awareness, rehabilitation, and the impact on the respiratory system. Interested individuals must complete an expression of interest form to access the funded training.
