RCP Community of Practice for Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Newcastle Hospitals Respiratory Service is a pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) service, who were accredited in 2023, and have recently completed their first annual review with PRSAS (Pulmonary Rehabilitation Services Accreditation Scheme). An area the team has been continuously congratulated on is their patient involvement and focus that has been embedded within their PR service. Patient safety day took place on 17 September, so to celebrate this and recognise the great work this team has done, we spoke with the team about what patient safety and PRSAS means to them!

Join us for Pulmonary Rehabilitation Awareness Week from Monday 17 June – Friday 21 June and look further into how pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) can benefit patients with stable lung conditions.

We're seeking volunteers to join a focus group to help shape the redesign of Accreditation Unit websites.
