Privileged to have the best job with the best team....I guess the patients are pretty special too 🥰
Well done team PR, the hard work was well worth it.
Our pulmonary rehabilitation service has been awarded with the PRSAS (Pulmonary Rehabilitation Services Accreditation Scheme) accreditation status from the Royal College of Physicians.

Finally able to celebrate Dudley pulmonary rehabilitation service achieving accreditation, now that it's official. It's been a lot of hard work by all involved, but we'll worth it. @DGFT_PR @DudleyGroupNHS @KarenLe08016942
Fabulous evening celebrating with the Pulmonary Rehabilitation work family last week. Winners of the patient choice committed to excellence award. Thank you to @SameenaITV for presenting the awards. We are very privileged to have the job that we have ♡ @DGFT_PR
Good day promoting @DGFT_PR in Halesowen today. Lovely to see @Clare12069017, thanks for the chat.
Happy Pulmonary Rehabilitation Week, the Dudley PR team are out in Halesowen Cornbow Centre today promoting the service, come say hello if you're around. @DGFT_PR @the_mediaman1 @DudleyGroupNHS @KarenLe08016942
A massive well done to one of our PR patients, Sharon, for braving the shave to raise money for our cardiac rehab service, please give a little donation if you can spare. Such a good cause. justgiving.com/page/sharon-b…
I love being a clinical educator. It makes it all worthwhile when your students say that their time on placement has cemented their passion for physiotherapy. Excuse the card, but it's so me and a lovely sentiment inside. They will be missed. Good luck @AbzR24 and @OwenMoreton
Absolutely fabulous 1st clinical placements for our UOB physiotherapy students. Here they are giving an anatomy and physiology education session in pulmonary rehabilitation. Well done Abbey & Owen @AbzR24 @OwenMoreton @DGFT_PR @DudleyGroupNHS @unibirmingham
End of an era. Today, we said "see you later" to our therapy assistant Nicola, who has been on a 2 year secondment. Nicky has been a massive part of our pulmonary rehabilitation family. We will miss you 😔 @DGFT_PR @DudleyGroupNHS @ShewStacey
Our fabulous University of Birmingham physiotherapy students experiencing the salt caves. Learning about local services that our respiratory patients may benefit from.

Fabulous networking opportunity with the PR team from @livewellsw talking all things accreditation @PRaccreditation. Lovely to meet you ladies :-) @DGFT_PR
Learning more about the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Accreditation Scheme. Very important process for Dudley Pulmonary Rehabilitation Team coming up. @DGFT_PR @PRaccreditation – at London, England
Back to uni today. Clinical educator update: Well, I need to hold on to that educator of the year award :-) #KnowledgeIsPower – at Birmingham, England
All patients in pulmonary rehab hate their Sit to Stands, hopefully evidence like this may make it a little easier
3 sets of repeated chair stands (5 or 10 reps per set), 3 times per week.
Sound feasible?
Over 8 weeks, this was enough to improve:
Muscle thickness: ⬆️8-9%
Muscle quality index: ⬆️40-45%
Relative sit-to-stand power: ⬆️29-38%
Resistance training doesn’t have to be fancy to be effective.
