Twenty-one mental health staff have completed their gym facilitator training at Bellsdyke Hospital. Forth Valley College’s Leisure Facilities Co-ordinator Wai Mun Lee was asked by the physiotherapy team lead to provide a workshop for all staff interested in supporting sessions in the on-site gym.
The workshop has helped improve the staffs’ confidence, knowledge and understanding of how to use the gym to not improve their own health but also the physical and mental health & wellbeing of local patients.
Designed to cater for everyone, from the complete beginner to the more experienced fitness fanatic, it is hoped that staff can now put all they have learned into practice. This will enable them and their patients to take full advantage of the in-house gym, reap the benefits of exercising regularly and, most importantly, having fun.
