Ambassador Training
This Mum Moves (TMM) Ambassador Training is a half-day training event that will equip professionals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to discuss physical activity during pregnancy and after childbirth.
We have two options ... book training as an individual or commission training as a group/team.
We run individual training sessions throughout the year. The sessions are delivered live via Zoom and will provide learners with access to a digital toolkit to support conversations and further learning. It will also provide participants with the resources to facilitate the promotion of physical activity, including cascade and promotional materials. This training has been accredited by the CPD Standards Office and equates to 3 CPD points.
The 4hr Individual TMM Ambassador Training Course costs £175 (no VAT) per person.
Commission Training
If you work for an organisation or a team who could benefit from our Ambassador training consider commissioning a bespoke training session.
We can accommodate up to 24 participants and as sessions are held online team members to take part from anywhere in the UK.

Background to the This Mum Moves Project
Pilot & Evaluation Phase
In 2018 ukactive together with several national partners, supported by National Lottery and Sport England funding, launched the This Mum Moves project. The project aimed to support women to continue to enjoy and benefit from an active lifestyle during their childbearing years by enabling healthcare professionals to promote physical activity within routine care. Resources and training materials were developed through a Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) approach involving professionals, pregnant women, and new mothers. The ensuing educational programme set out to improve the physical activity knowledge, skills, and confidence of midwives and health visitors specifically.
During the three-year project, This Mum Moves worked with NHS trusts, in five pilot sites, to deliver training to over 400 healthcare professionals.
Following the training,
85% of healthcare professionals were ‘committed’ or ‘highly committed’ to apply what they had learned into practice
81% felt confident to start a conversation about physical activity
76% reported that they ‘often’ or ‘always’ provided physical activity advice
97% of healthcare professionals said they would recommend the training to a friend or colleague.
TMM Pilot Sites
This Mum Moves delivered 'Ambassador' training to healthcare professionals in 5 locations across England.
This training provided them with the tools, knowledge and confidence to offer pregnant women and new mums very brief advice on being physically active during pregnancy and after childbirth. It focused on the physical activity advice and guidance provided by the UK Chief Medical Officers for pregnancy and the postpartum period, and how practitioners can integrate key evidence-based messages as part of routine care.
The locations were:
• Bexley
• Cambridgeshire
• Plymouth
• Sheffield
• Sunderland
