ABOUT BASRaT

As the number of people participating in sport and exercise at all levels continues to increase, so too do the diverse demands on healthcare practitioners. Couple this with the nationwide drive to make Britain a healthier place and get people of all ages and physical conditions exercising; there is a definite need for exercise and rehabilitation professionals who can work alongside and complement the existing healthcare practitioners.

BASRaT graduates are trained solely in Sports and Exercise Medicine, with an emphasis on the design and implementation of exercise and rehabilitation programmes in both health and disease. St. Mary's College and the University of Salford were the pioneering institutions to run degree programmes of this nature, and have since been joined by several other institutions. To ensure that all accredited courses were of a high equitable standard, and that all graduates conformed to strict codes of professional practise and conduct, BASRaT was born.

BASRaT also provides a platform from which Sports Rehabilitators can promote their work, both nationally and internationally, and indeed further themselves through a rigorous process of continuing professional development. Furthermore BASRaT are currently undergoing an application with the Health Professionals (HPC) to have the practice of Sport Rehabilitation regulated by the HPC.

BASRaT is an organisation that has an elected Executive Committee, whereby each member is elected for a period of one year. Voting takes place at the Annual General Meeting of the organisation which is held in mid May. For details of the next AGM, please see AGM & Clinical Symposium
