"Pulmonary Rehabilitation"

About: Royal Alexandra Hospital / Pulmonary Rehabilitation

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

Initially I was a little upset when recommended to attend Pulmonary Rehab as reality set in. I was apprehensive the first couple of weeks hover soon started to realise how Pulmonary Rehabilitation was going to benefit me. I enjoyed doing the exercises in class, they where easy enough to do at home  three times per week. I purchased 1KG weights and plan to continue to do the exercises at home. My breathing has improved over the 8 weeks and I notice that I am not getting at breathless not doing day to day activities as I was prior to attending Pulmonary Rehab! Fiona and the team where inspirational!!

Dear lynxdn34

Thank you for such positive feedback following your recent Pulmonary Rehabilitation course at Renfrew Leisure Centre.

I am sorry to hear you were upset at being offered a referral to our service, but well done for coming along each week and giving it your all. You are now reaping the benefits and sounds like it has inspired you to continue with the exercises at home with your new equipment.

It is great to hear you are now less breathless when carrying out your daily activities. Pulmonary Rehabilitation has many benefits but improving symptoms and quality of life are right up there so its fabulous to hear the course has helped.

The team strive to deliver the highest quality of programme so it's fantastic to hear how great you found them. I will be sure to pass this on to them.

We wish you well for the future.

Kind Regards

Fiona Galbraith
