Professional Ethics for Sport and Exercise Scientists (Core SE workshop), Cardiff

Compulsory (core) workshop for those on BASES Supervised Experience

Wednesday 8 February 2012, 10am - 4pm, University of Wales Institute Cardiff

Workshop overview:
The aim of this workshop is to introduce and consolidate the principles of ethical good conduct for sport and exercise scientists. In doing so, through a variety of interactive learning experiences, it draws upon aspects of professional ethics as experienced by sport and exercise science practitioners. It also situates the BASES Code of Conduct in a set of applied (hypothetical) contexts. Underpinned implicitly by theoretical frameworks, it is intended for those sport and exercise scientists seeking accreditation through BASES.

Learning Outcomes of the Workshop:

After completing this workshop participants should be able to:

• Understand the basis for ethical good conduct amongst sport and exercise professionals;
• Recognise and apply the BASES Code of Conduct to inform good practice;
