Level 4 Obesity and Diabetes Course
Using content created and delivered by leading medical professionals, gain the knowledge to combat two of the UK's most prevalent medical conditions: obesity and diabetes.
Overview
Experts from the World Health Organisation (WHO) predict that by 2030, almost 75% of men and 63% of women in the UK will be classified as ‘obese’. There are numerous conditions and complications associated with obesity, including diabetes, lower back pain, osteoporosis, and arthritis, and these are also set to become more prevalent.
In the UK, the direct cost of treating and managing obesity and diabetes exceeds £16 billion annually, with even more being spent on secondary conditions. With the NHS being stretched like never before, the demand for knowledgeable, skilled and specialist exercise professionals that can help to curb this crisis has never been so high. Fitness professionals certainly have a key part to play in fighting this global epidemic.
Our Level 4 Certificate in Exercise and Nutritional Interventions for Obesity and Diabetes has been specifically designed to allow you to work closely with the medical community to treat obese and diabetic patients with structured exercise/nutrition interventions. Throughout the course, you’ll gain in-depth knowledge on a range of highly sought-after skills that will allow you to work with obese and diabetic patients.
