In 2014, as part of the outcomes from the inaugural World Heart Federations Emerging Leaders’ work,1 a network of collaborators and change agents set about strengthening the capacity of healthcare professionals (HCPs) to support patients and communities to be more physically active. The intent was to influence the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and poor health, in the context of research demonstrating that even brief physical activity advice during routine consultations can translate to significant clinical outcomes.2 The community of practice3 aim was simple: to upskill, through capacity building, key frontline professionals of any healthcare discipline to be more confident, capable and competent in implementing interventions to mitigate NCDs. This included enabling HCPs to promote greater physical activity by their patients and use their leadership influence to effect wide-scale change in society.4 Previous initiatives across UK medical and health schools to access free physical activity and health resources and implement them through curriculum change resulted in slow and inconsistent uptake. Similar suboptimal outcomes were reflected in other countries.5 However, in 2019, the European Union (EU) ERASMUS+Virtual Advice, Nurturing, Guidance on Universal Action, Research and Development for physical activity and sport engagement (VANGUARD) project enabled five European schools of medicine (and one UK-based physiotherapy school) to embed bespoke resources, secure academic support and empower future HCPs. The VANGUARD project objectives were to: 1. Embed physical activity in the EU undergraduate curricula of future frontline HCPs (medical doctors and subsequently allied health professions) in these six European countries to help promote and sustain health. 2. Foster meaningful collaborative partnerships in the implementation, methodology and evaluation of physical activity in the EU curricula of future frontline HCPs. 3. Develop an at-scale approach, led by future HCPs, in the critical role of physical activity/sport in the prevention and treatment …

十年后：英国和欧盟将体育活动纳入医疗保健课程的成功和未来方向


2014 年，作为首届世界心脏联合会新兴领袖工作成果的一部分，1 一个由合作者和变革推动者组成的网络着手加强医疗保健专业人员 （HCP） 的能力，以支持患者和社区更加活跃。其目的是影响非传染性疾病 （NCD） 和健康状况不佳的预防、治疗和康复，因为研究表明，即使是在常规咨询期间提供简短的身体活动建议也可以转化为重要的临床结果。实践社区3 的目标很简单：通过能力建设提高任何医疗保健学科的关键一线专业人员的技能，使其更加自信， 有能力实施干预措施以减轻非传染性疾病。这包括使 HCP 能够促进患者进行更多的身体活动，并利用他们的领导影响力来影响社会的广泛变革。4 英国医疗和健康学校之前采取的举措是获得免费的体育活动和健康资源，并通过课程改革来实施这些资源，但导致采用缓慢且不一致。5 然而，在 2019 年，欧盟 （EU） 的 ERASMUS+虚拟建议、培养、普遍行动指导、体育活动和运动参与的研究与发展 （VANGUARD） 项目使五所欧洲医学院（和一所位于英国的物理治疗学校）能够嵌入定制资源、获得学术支持并赋予未来的 HCP 权力。VANGUARD 项目的目标是： 1. 将体育活动纳入这六个欧洲国家未来一线 HCP（医生和随后的专职卫生专业人员）的欧盟本科课程，以帮助促进和维持健康。2. 在未来一线 HCP 的欧盟课程中培养有意义的合作伙伴关系，以实施、方法和评估身体活动。3.开发一种由未来 HCP 领导的大规模方法，以体现体育活动/运动在预防和治疗中的关键作用......
