Rehabilitation Support Workers are known as Exercise Rehabilitation Instructors (ERIs). There is no requirement for ERIs to be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council.

As at 16 November 2023 there were a total of 289 ERIs. Of this figure 175 are employed within the British Army, 19 within the Royal Navy, 33 within the Royal Air Force and 62 civilians. Data is not centrally held on the geographic location of these personnel.
