"Very informative and friendly"

About: Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow / Pulmonary Rehabilitation

(as the patient),

I suffer from COPD and struggled with day to day living, I attended pulmonary rehabilitation to see if I was ok to do there exercise program which lasts 8 weeks, I couldn't manage the first time as I was on the wrong inhalers which the nurse told me and got me sorted on the right inhalers and them came back and done the exercise test again which is to walk 50m in 6 minutes which I just managed so I was ok to join the pulmonary rehabilitation classes at the qeuh Glasgow, I attended every Wednesday at 1 o'clock and struggled with the exercises on the first week, as the weeks went on we done more exercises and they became easier, after the 8 weeks I really feel the benefit of the exercises as I have a better quality of life I can walk further and quicker I can do alot more I feel better in myself and more confident.

My 2 physiotherapists Doreen and Debbie were magnificent and very informative and friendly and made coming to the group fun.

Dear Tony Montana

Thank you very much for providing positive feedback regarding our Pulmonary Rehabilitation Service at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

It is great to hear that you have found attending the programme to be of benefit to your breathing and that it has had a positive impact on your walking distance, confidence and quality of life.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation is one of the most important interventions for lung health so hopefully your story will help to inspire other patients to attend.

Kind Regards

Kirsty Murray
