Excellence Network Exercise Hub Study Day 2025

The Exercise Hub's annual Study Day is back! Hosted by the Exercise Hub's core team, including Beccy Oliver and Julie Jones, specialist physiotherapists and leads of the Exercise Hub, this year's event is once again taking place in person in Birmingham.

Aimed at bringing together exercise professionals and exercise providers from across the UK, the event will provide the opportunity to learn, share and network on what will be an energising and interactive day. 

This year, the Hub is celebrating their 10 year anniversary and looking back at all that they've achieved over the last decade.

This year, the theme of the day will be to consider exercise prescription for people with different phenotypes of Parkinson’s, including those diagnosed as young onset.

By the end of the event, attendees will be able to:

• Deepen their understanding of the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of specific Parkinson’s phenotypes, and apply this knowledge to exercise planning and delivery.
• Recognise and respond to the unique challenges and lifestyle considerations associated with Young Onset Parkinson’s (YOPD), when prescribing exercise.
• Collaborate with peers in practical, case-based discussions to expand the range of exercise approaches and modalities suitable for different presentations of Parkinson’s.
• Explore current innovations and technological tools that support exercise engagement and self-management for people living with Parkinson’s.
• Have knowledge of the latest product updates and developments by speaking to several device and app companies at an exhibition symposium during lunch time, as well as hearing from the companies about how their products could make a difference for people with Parkinson's. 
   

Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Please note that there will be a small charge for tickets this year in order to meet the rising venue and catering costs.
