Why would I take a CanRehab course?
As the evidence builds on the effectiveness of cancer specific community-based programmes presurgery, during treatment and post treatment, Clinical Commissioning Groups are looking to fund programs with a clear referral pathway from the health setting to the community. Indeed, the CanRehab Specialist Instructor course has helped many health professionals understand the relevant skills that the CanRehab fitness instructors gain and therefore enabled them to confidently refer their patients to community-based programmes supervised by cancer exercise experts. Some of the CanRehab graduates now work in NHS settings as key team players in cancer prehabiitation or rehabilitation cancer programmes.

CanRehab Cancer Confidence Course
Commercial and council leisure centre staff can benefit from in house training to become “cancer friendly” by attending the Cancer Confidence course. This CIMSPA endorsed course is designed to provide information and skills to all client facing staff, so they can advise any client with cancer whether it is safe to start or continue with their proposed exercise or treatment. The trained staff will be equipped with sufficient knowledge and communication skills to ensure that the client is safe to continue with their proposed exercise programme. Equally important, participants on this course will learn when they are NOT appropriately trained to work with particular cancer patients and when they need to contact a CanRehab qualified specialist exercise instructor for advice and/or should refer clients to the appropriate health professional.
