Abstract

THE Physical Activity Special Interest Group of the Wolfson Research Insti- tute for Health and Wellbeing (Durham University) hosted a symposium focused on exercise referral schemes (ERS), on 14 October 2016 at the College of St Hild and St Bede, Durham. Exercise referral schemes typically allow health professionals, such as general practitioners, nurses and physiotherapists to refer inactive individuals with long-term health conditions to a third party leisure provider for a supervised exercise programme, with the aim of increasing physical activity levels. The symposium was lively and thought-provoking with pres- entations divided into two core themes: ‘Emerging Evidence for ERS’ and ‘Future Developments for ERS’.
