Pilot
The pilot will assess the feasibility of implementing a Physical Activity Pathway delivering Brief Advice (BA) and Brief Interventions (BI) in Primary Care in Scotland.
Draft Scripts
The draft scripts (attached below) include a detailed flow diagram and practitioner guidance describing the delivery of physical activity brief advice and brief interventions, including the use of the Scottish Physical Activity Screening Question (Scot-PASQ). (updated June 2018)
Knowledge and Learning
In addition to the guidance detailed above practitioners are also encouraged to complete the e-learning module ‘Raising the Issue of Physical Activity’ in order to enhance their knowledge of physical activity and health behaviour change prior to using the scripts.
Please Note
The scripts may be further refined as a result of the pilot. In the meantime, healthcare professionals can use the scripts in practice where appropriate and are encouraged to feedback comments to help inform any subsequent changes required.
Should you have any questions regarding the scripts or are able to provide feedback on their application in practice, please email: nhs.healthscotland-paha@nhs.net
Further updates and information on the Physical Activity Pilot will be published on the Physical Activity and Health Alliance website.
