Demonstrate advanced knowledge and understanding of human structural, functional, and behavioural aetiology for chronic diseases (respiratory, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer areas) and mental illness (depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar, PTSD, substance use disorder).
- LO2. Design, revise and deliver client-centred exercise plans that consider scientific evidence, client goals, medical history including clinical status and other influencing factors for persons with chronic diseases (respiratory, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer areas) and mental illness (depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar, PTSD, substance use disorder).
- LO3. Interact effectively with key stakeholders including clientele and health professionals in the healthcare framework to participate in delivering multi-disciplinary care to individuals with chronic diseases (respiratory, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer areas) and mental illness (depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar, PTSD, substance use disorder).
- LO4. Appropriately monitor, evaluate and modify physical activity interventions for clientele with chronic diseases (respiratory, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer areas) and mental illness (depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar, PTDS, substance use disorder)
- LO5. Use effective and specific tools and techniques to safely assess client clinical status and, with evidence-based rationale, adapt/innovate elements of PA-based therapy to suit individual clients with chronic diseases (respiratory, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer areas) and mental illness (depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar, PTDS, substance use disorder).
- LO6. Demonstrate ethical and professional conduct and behaviour, understand the scope of practice of AEPs and comply with the ESSA code of professional conduct and ethical practice.
