Development of a student-led pulmonary rehabilitation maintenance clinic.

Knight, Sara

Abstract

The emergence of SARS coronavirus-2 has disrupted education and requires attention from Health Sciences educators. Logistical challenges and concerns for patient safety are evident, recognising that students may potentially spread the virus when asymptomatic. The need to prepare future Physiotherapy students has never been as focused as it is now. The profound effects of COVID-19 will change how future Physiotherapists are educated and how people with chronic chest conditions are managed in the community. I therefore set out to develop a student-led Pulmonary Rehabilitation maintenance clinic, to run in partnership with Sport Aberdeen and NHS Grampian. Service users were recruited from the current Sport Aberdeen cohort, using exclusion and inclusion criteria established by NHS Grampian. Virtual classes were conducted on a 1-2-1 basis on MS Teams using the CAT and one-minute STST as pre- and post-outcome measures.
