Background:

In October 2018, the Secretary of State for Health launched Moving Medicine on behalf of the Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine (FSEM) in partnership with Public Health England and Sport England.  www.movingmedicine.ac.uk

This project is working to spread the word about the positive effects of physical activity for the prevention and treatment of disease. In partnership with the Royal College of Physicians, the Royal College of General Practitioners, the Royal College of Nursing and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists as well as the Royal College of Psychiatrists and a large number of Colleges, Faculties and Charitable organisations, the Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine have produced a series of clinician facing resources with the purpose of giving clinicians, of all disciplines and specialties, the skills and knowledge to have impactful conversations with patients about physical activity.

Moving Medicine has since developed to include hosting and leading the Active Hospital Toolkit, a clinical resource designed to provide guidance and resources to secondary care bodies interested in developing Active Hospitals.

Moving Medicine now also incorporates ‘Active Conversations’, a modular online course designed to improve the quality and quantify of conversation about physical activity between patients and HCP’s. Active conversations is now embarking on its 3rd commercial course in partnership with the Academy for Health coaching.

Since 2018, Moving Medicine has developed partnerships with a number of additional international partners, and has also developed resources for children and young people.  A new website has been developed to improve accessibility and provide international platforms for our international partnerships.
