Day-to-day operating brief

What Rehab Instructor (GP referral) work looks like in practice

A GP-referral rehabilitation instructor delivers structured exercise for referred patients with stable health conditions. Terms should define referral criteria, qualification, monitoring, group capacity and escalation when symptoms or observations fall outside the programme. A referral programme needs a defined exit as well as entry criteria. Final outcomes and remaining concerns should return through the agreed clinical communication route. Baseline screening, attendance trend and achieved exercise level give the referrer more useful evidence than a simple completed or dropped-out label.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Review referral information against programme criteria.
  • Complete approved pre-exercise screening checks.
  • Deliver and progress individual exercise programmes.
  • Monitor symptoms exertion and attendance.
  • Record outcomes and communicate agreed updates.
  • Escalate medical concerns or unsuitable referrals.

A realistic working scenario

A participant reports a medication change and dizziness. The instructor withholds exercise and requests clinical review.

Outputs to agree

  • safe referred exercise sessions
  • documented progression
  • timely clinical escalation
