‘…competent health and exercise professionals are essential to the successful delivery of CR.’ | BACPR recognises that competent health and exercise professionals are essential to the successful delivery of CR, which meets the needs of the patient within a high quality service. We have developed a series of Core Competency Frameworks that encompass the knowledge, skills and competences of professional groups involved in the delivery of each of the Core Components. |
This document provides guidance on the key competences required to ensure the use of best practice standards and guidelines for Health Behaviour Change and Education – an integral component of cardiac rehabilitation. In total, 12 Core Competences are outlined, identifying specific knowledge and skills for each Core Competency and a framework to assess the health professional's ability to demonstrate their competency.
This document also serves as a tool to monitor the need for continuing professional development for the health professional and supporting staff to achieve specific competences: BACPR Core Competences |
