Home exercise videos for adults living with chronic conditions
|
HSE Healthy Eating Active Living Programme and Office of the National Clinical Advisor and Group Lead for Chronic Disease have collaborated with HSE physiotherapy colleagues to produce a series of 10-45 minute home exercise videos. These videos are suitable for people living with chronic conditions who can exercise safely at home.
The videos range from warms ups to chair exercises, to a 10 minute gentle aerobic session and also include full aerobic and resistance sessions. They are suitable for those beginning exercise or those who haven’t exercised in a while. The videos can be self-paced and done in 10 minute slots building to up to 45 minute sessions over time. They are also available for healthcare professionals to signpost to patients who they know can do these safely at home. All the sessions have been clinically designed and approved by physiotherapists in the HSE.
To access these videos visit https://www2.hse.ie/wellbeing/being-active-with-a-health-condition/being-active-with-a-health-condition.html

Child Welfare & Protection in Sport Basic Awareness Training
|
The course is aimed at sports leaders, children’s officers, parents or anyone working with young people in sport. A central goal for all those involved in sport for young people is to provide a safe, positive and nurturing environment where children can develop and enhance their physical and social skills.
Promoting a child-centred environment should go hand in hand with identifying and eliminating practices that impact negatively on safe and enjoyable participation in sport for young people.
The next series of workshops will be delivered via zoom by Sport Ireland tutors on the dates below.

Christmas is an expensive time, but with a bit of planning, you can help reduce your food costs and your food waste.
The simple steps we want to encourage people to take are:
- Check how many you are cooking for – find out how many people you are cooking for this Christmas so you can plan the food you need. Also, check if guests have any dietary needs or don’t like certain foods so you can serve what people will eat.
- Make your festive food plan and stick to it – try not to get side-tracked by special offers in the shops.
Please find attached the Toolkit for this campaign. As before, the Toolkit includes a graphic for each tip and suggested text that can be posted on PPN social media accounts and/or include the information in your upcoming newsletter. The high-resolution graphic files are attached also.
