"I have found the classes very beneficial and educational"

About: Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow / Pulmonary Rehabilitation

(as a service user),

Just finished my classes. I have found them very beneficial and educational.  Attending the QEH each week has got me moving and back into exercising on a regular basis. I have now joined a gym which I attend 3 times per week to use the treadmill. I have recently achieved walking 4k in an hour which I am really pleased about. I now use the breathing and pacing techniques Ali and Lyndsey taught me on a daily basis to help manage my breathlessness. The talk on nutrition was interesting I find it better eating small portions on a regular basis. Thanks to all involved.

Dear chassists47

Thank you for taking the time to provide such great feedback following your attendance with Pulmonary Rehabilitation at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

It is great to hear how positive your experience has been and the many benefits you have gained, especially implementing the breathing control techniques and pacing.

It's amazing to hear you are are attending the gym 3 times per week and managing a great distance on the treadmill!

Our team strive to deliver the highest quality of programme to ensure our patient's get the most from them. Pulmonary Rehabilitation is the most important intervention for chronic lung disease patients with both the exercise and education playing a significant part. I'm glad you found the talk on nutrition so beneficial.

I will be sure to pass your feedback to Ali and Lyndsey.

We wish you well for the future.

Kind Regards
