The Exercise Physiology service at our hospital provides clinical and physical assessment including comprehensive exercise testing and supervised exercise for patients with cardiovascular disease and risk factors.

Our exercise physiologists provide the following:

• patient and carer education
• advice and consultancy to medical and other staff on exercise prescription.

We provide exercise physiology services for the following groups of patients:

• inpatients who are likely to have improved outcomes or fast-tracked pathways as a direct result of exercise physiology services
• outpatients who require exercise physiology services that are not available in the community or non-tertiary site in their local catchment area.

Exercise Physiology is part of our Allied Health Service.
