Pulmonary Rehabilitation Awareness Week is coming up and this year we are focusing on an important theme: improving access to PR.

PRSAS 2024 wrap-up

To celebrate PR awareness week this year, the PRSAS team has looked at the process of a PR programme, from the initial referral until the final assessment and discharge. We had the privilege of speaking with Michelle, from Imperial College Healthcare PR Service, and two of their patients who have recently completed one of their PR programmes, getting to hear their experience.

In August, the PRSAS team met with Sarah Claydon, Quality Improvement Project Officer – pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) Accreditation with East of England to discuss the process of engaging a project officer and take a region approach to accreditation. Sarah’s post will be ending towards the end of 2024, and 6 out of the 10 selected services will have completed their site assessment by the end of the 2023/2024 financial year - which a fantastic achievement for everyone involved!
