Can I use AI to generate evidence for training activities?

We’re receiving this question from trainees and trainers increasingly frequently. So, we have published a detailed response to the question on the school website.

Additionally, we have updated the trainee and trainer guides to Turnitin since Turnitin reports now include AI writing scores and reports.

The role of Exercise Physiologists in the NHS – National survey

Exercise Physiologists are taking on an increasing role in clinical care, particularly in prehabilitation and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Yet, pathways into these roles and opportunities for skill development remain highly variable. A new Level 7 qualification is being explored to provide structured training through academic study and hospital placements, within the area of CPET and Prehabilitation.

We are seeking views from Exercise Physiologists, Cardiac and Respiratory Physiologists and departments to understand workforce journeys, current skill sets, career progression and support needs. Your feedback will directly help shape the future of training and professional development. The closing date for the survey is 29 October 2025.

Respond to the survey on the role of Exercise Physiologists
