Healthy Active Adults

Active Oxfordshire is committed to ensuring that there are effective physical activity pathways for people with disabilities, long term health conditions or mental health difficulties. We also work tirelessly to raise the profile of inclusive physical activity and sport, by working with our partners to develop and promote opportunities for people with health conditions and disabilities across Oxfordshire.

Healthy Active Adults is one of our three strategic priorities as an organisation.

Our partners include Oxfordshire County Council Public Health, the Integrated Care Board, healthcare professionals, Local Authorities, PCNs and Community Activation teams.

• We work closely with health and social care professionals to develop personalised pathways for people living with long-term health conditions and disabilities
• We co-ordinate Move Together, a personalised pathway into physical activity for people living with long-term health conditions.
• We deliver and facilitate training to upskill health and social care workforces to promote and discuss physical activity.
• We support local and national campaigns such as We Are Undefeatable, One You, Every Mind Matters and Public Health's new Better Health campaign.

In partnership with Oxfordshire County Council Public Health, The Active Pregnancy Foundation, and Institute of Health Visiting (iHV), we are excited to bring another 'This Mum Moves' training course to Oxfordshire!

What is This Mum Moves?

This Mum Moves (TMM) is a CPD endorsed educational programme (4.5 hour online interactive workshop) which aims to empower women to make informed physical activity choices throughout pregnancy and beyond by providing professionals with the tools to discuss physical activity during the childbearing years.

This training will upskill healthcare workforces in TMM training which will provide individuals with the skills and knowledge to have effective physical activity conversations. The training is aimed at professionals who work with and have contact with women during their childbearing years.

The learning objectives of the training include:

• To be familiar with the evidence base for physical activity during and beyond pregnancy, including national guidelines and activity level definitions.
• To effectively promote physical activity using the Chief Medical Officers' (CMO) physical activity guidance for pregnant and postnatal women.
• To provide appropriate and timely advice, guidance, and signposting to trusted resources, e.g., Move Together, YouMove.
• To be able to access resources to support physical activity conversations and engagement.
• To understand the role of a TMM Ambassador in raising awareness and increasing physical activity engagement as part of a healthy lifestyle.
• Increase confidence of workforce to raise topic of physical activity with pregnant women.
• Potential opportunity to join up with training on how to have conversations about healthy weight and broader MECC approaches delivered to professionals across Oxfordshire.
