The
annual British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) conference held this year in Leeds in early September saw the launch of the profession's revised accreditation and supervised experience process.
Developed on behalf of the Association by Wharton's Sarah
Rowell (a BASES Fellow), the revised accreditation standards have been positioned to sit alongside similar quality assurance schemes run by other health based professions. As such accreditation will now be awarded to individuals who have the minimum knowledge skills and understanding to be safe and
fit to practice as a sport and exercise scientist.
Sarah will be continuing to work with BASES to ensure a
successful transition over to the new scheme. Further details on accreditation and supervised experience can be found via the BASES web page -
