St Georges Resp PT

This week is #PulmonaryRehab awareness week and we are hard at it supporting people with chronic lung disease to live their best lives 💪 Last we helped over 500 people to better manage their lung condition and do more - why not ask your GP if PR is right for you?!! #Respisbest

Our Heart Failure B7 is taking a well earned break so we’re seeking an enthusiastic team player to join us for 6M! We know there’s not many specialising in HF so we offer plenty of support to help you develop and grow in the role @TheACPRC jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/joba…

🙌 Shehnaz Raniwalla’s our new Comm Resp Physio Lead! 🙌 Shehnaz told us that living with chronic breathlessness is one of the most unpleasant things we can experience. Helping people breathe more easily & building their confidence to be more active drives her as a Resp PT 🫁

Quick Q for all #PulmRehab services out there! How do you complete ISWT in patients with profound deafness? 6MWT doesn’t need audio but requires 30m+ linear course…our venues only allow for 10m or to perform 6MWT in a busy corridor; what to do? 🤷‍♂️ @TheACPRC @prwukee @NRAPaudit

We are so thrilled to welcome @isaac_gp1 Isaac in our team! Isaac loves to help people on their recovery journey and enjoys his role as ,no two days are the same at St George’s!

Awesome work Hannah 👏

🎉 Thrilled to celebrate Alex Phillips, a valuable member of our team, on securing a spot in the prestigious Chief Nurse Research Fellowship at St George’s Hospital! 🏥👏 Exciting times ahead as he delves into research on difficult asthma. 🌬️🔬@GetAlexPhillips @NMAHPresearch

Alex and Hannah representing resp team on @BTSrespiratory summer meeting 2023 We cannot wait for them to share their experience and gained knowledge!

Our cardiothoracic physio is looking at implementing the RIBS for routine use in patients admitted with rib fractures across the hospital - watch this space! #respisbest

You've heard of the Battle Score, but have you heard of RIBS? The Revised Intensity Battle Score is a "re-tooled" version of the original Battle Score which can more accurately predict poor outcomes in patients with rib fractures. Read more about it here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36120831/
