Epilepsy Fitness Course For Fitness and Sports Professionals Launching in 2026!
Iām pleased to be able to share the news that Shreeve Health and Fitness and Sarah Bolitho Training and Consultancy have teamed up to co-found the first course of it's kind in the world to teach sports and fitness professionals how to support people who are living with epilepsy.
The course has been mapped to professional standards, is being supported by a leading epilepsy charity and will be endorsed by the governing body for sports and physical activity in the UK.
For too long, people living with epilepsy have lived without access to sports and fitness professionals who are educated in how to support them with living an active life and how to safely participate in sports.
The research is clear: physical activity is good for people living with epilepsy-it enhances their quality of life and overall health, yet additional research has shown that sports and fitness professionals do not have the knowledge and awareness of how to help people living with epilepsy.
It's time for positive change.
I would like to hear from any sports or fitness professionals who are interested in becoming one of the first people or organisations in the world to be qualified in supporting people who are living with epilepsy on their journeys to healthy participation in sports and physical activity.
The key theme for our course is confidence: We want you to be confident in supporting people with epilepsy and we want people living with epilepsy to be confident in the knowledge that there are people who know how to support them, and confident that they can live an active lifestyle with all of the benefits that come with it.
After qualifying, you'll receive a digital badge to show the world that you're a person or organisation who knows how to support people living with epilepsy and you'll go on a database so that people living with epilepsy who want support with their fitness or sports participation can find you.
If you want to get on the waiting list for when the course launches, or simply have a chat to learn more, please reach out to me, via my contact form linked here.
