isolation.
Our continued arrangement continues
with the Physiotherapy Department at
the University of Brighton whereby
students on a PhD course provide
their expertise in pulmonary
rehabilitation exercise. This enables
the students to understand
pulmonary disease and help our
members carry out the right exercise
for their conditions.
We have also set up a ‘Home Visiting’
pulmonary rehabilitation programme
whereby a qualified physiotherapist
visits service users at home to carry
out their exercises. This has been
running very successfully for a few
months now and helps to reduce
isolation, increases mobility and
service user’s general well-being.
