Evaluation of Phase One of the Active Hospital Pilot
2021
Background to the Active Hospital Pilot
In 2017, Public Health England (PHE) and Sport England (SE) appointed Oxford University Hospital Foundation Trust (OUHFT) to deliver an Active Hospital pilot. The pilot focused on the integration of physical activity into care pathways within secondary care.
Aims of the Active Hospital pilot
The aim of the Active Hospital pilot was to create an 'Active Hospital' by embedding an SEM consultant led PA service within an NHS Trust to integrate PA into the care plans of patients. This was tested across five clinical pathways within OUHFT where PA has not previously been targeted as a treatment intervention.
The evaluation of the Active Hospital pilot
The National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine (NCSEM), in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University (SHU), were commissioned by PHE and SE to conduct an independent evaluation of the Active Hospital pilot.
Primary and secondary aims of the Active Hospital pilot evaluation
The primary aim of the evaluation was to explore the acceptability and feasibility of multi-disciplinary SEM teams delivering targeted and tailored support to integrate PA into the care plans of OUHFT patients.
The secondary aims were to:
i) Explore secondary care HCPs baseline perceptions of SEM clinical advice in the context of clinical patient care.
ii) Determine clinical acceptability of SEM intervention with HCPs and with patients.
iii) Identify what works and what doesn’t work in establishing this model of SEM PA provision in secondary care.
iv) Understand the uptake of SEM PA provision in different clinical pathways and by different clinical teams within secondary care.
