About this event:

What is PACC?

The Physical Activity Clinical Champions (PACC) programme provides free peer-led training and practical resources to support all healthcare professionals (HCPs) from hospital consultants through to community-based practitioners to have more effective conversations around physical activity with their patients.

Why choose PACC?

– Behavioural change There is strong evidence that brief interventions by a health professional can help change the behaviour of a patient.

– Guidance & clarity PACC trainers can highlight and explain the large amount of content on the Moving Medicine website.

– Increased knowledge and confidence Evidence shows that Clinical Champions help increase knowledge and confidence of the HCP so they can be more effective in the delivery of brief interventions.
