I have just finished working for Bupa as a Health Advisor and start a role with the NHS as a Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise Specialist in the next few weeks.

The role of Health Advisor involved carrying out health assessments including body anthropometrics, ECGs, blood sampling and testing, and submaximal exercise testing. I then offered lifestyle advice based on customer’s results and their individual goals.

My new role working for the NHS will involve developing and providing individualised exercise programmes for those recovering/managing cardiac problems as well as providing educational sessions on lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of further complications.
