Respiratory Physiotherapist with a specialist interest in dysfunctional breathing and upper airway dysfunction

[Rosalba Courtney @rosalbacourtney]

Our noses are amazing organs that have over 30 different functions.
The nose regulates our whole breathing system. It is a filter, an air-conditioner, it helps immune defence against bacteria and viruses, get more oxygen because of NO, and can help to calm the nervous system.

Disorders of the pulmonary vasculature are an overlooked cause of unexplained exertional breathlessness. Exercise haemodynamics in specialist centres can provide diagnostic clarity. @HelpMyBreathing https://t.co/rJ24UrC342

We are recruiting for a study comparing different breathing exercises for the treatment of dysfunctional breathing! See poster

@Bhavin_MehtaPT @acprc @KSSRespiratory @JuliaBott5 @SallySingh_ At present it would be our paper version of PR using @lunguk handbooks with education and telephone support so not F2F

[Saskia Edwards @SaskiaEdwards2]

Does anyone have experience of offering home based PR to someone who is visually impaired? @ACPRC @KSSRespiratory @JuliaBott5 @Bhavin_MehtaPT @SallySingh_

[Saskia Edwards @SaskiaEdwards2]

@83Purkiss Well done Claire! Super important piece of work to do to recognise the experiences of shielding clinicians. Much harder than I thought it would be!

The 1-min STS test is a reliable, valid and responsive exercise capacity test in COPD with an MID of 3 repetitions https://t.co/ssQarvnBwq
"....1-min STS test showed very little learning effect and excellent test-retest reliability in COPD patients."

@GoswellLouise @Laura81Al @TheACPRC @AHPLeader Thank you so much I really appreciate it.

[Saskia Edwards @SaskiaEdwards2]

Does anyone have a band 8 community respiratory physiotherapist job description that they don't mind sharing? Thank you! @TheACPRC @AHPLeader

[Saskia Edwards @SaskiaEdwards2]

@skmansell @TheACPRC @AHPLeader Very good point. Looking more clinical specialist role.

[Saskia Edwards @SaskiaEdwards2]

@AHPLeader @TheACPRC @sampilsworth I am largely looking at a community based role of supporting patients in their own homes and clinics but am also looking at improving the links between acute and community trusts where I work so a role that would cover both would also be great to read!
