We often talk the need to focus on preventative care.
Today at the @SwanseabayNHS Pulmonary Rehabilitation session in Bryncoch, I saw a great example of this in practice.
We need these types of PR exercise and education programmes in every part of Wales!
Launch of the Swansea Bay Director Therapies and Health Science Impact Awards at our Leaders Event. Three very worthy winners recognised for their excellent work. @eleri_darcy, (falls) Nicola Perry Gower (long Covid) and Helena Morgan. (Neurophysiology)
Great to be able to spend time today with the fantastic Pulmonary Rehab team @SwanseabayNHS and see the amazing impact they’re having. Hugely impressed by your passion & dedication and the inspirational leadership of @perrynic Thank you!
@Isobelle65@valeccWandG I'm so sorry to hear that but so glad as well that it isn't your ACL, hopefully you'll get a plan of rehab in a couple of weeks. All the best. Really hope to see you at another match when everything is mended 😊
Total dismay that footage of the visit by the Health Minister to the innovative and beneficial approach of @swanseabayNHS to #longcovidrehab should be chosen as the background video to the news of Eluned Morgan losing her driving licence.@BBCWalesNews@perrynic @respphysioko
Thank you to all those who attended our Cross-Party Group on Lung Health this morning 🫁
Many fantastic experiences & points shared, mainly highlighting Pulmonary Rehab drastically improves a person’s quality of life yet still doesn't have the status or priority it deserves

We were delighted to welcome Health Minister Eluned Morgan to the Bay Field Hospital, where the Long Covid Rehabilitation Service is based, to talk to staff and patients about their experiences of working and benefiting from the service. Read more: https://t.co/7fv8cJ7N7o
At 10am @JGriffithsLab will be chairing a meeting of the #CPGonLungHealth . This month’s meeting will focus on pulmonary rehabilitation and self-management, with talks from Dr Simon Barry, @perrynic and a group of service users
We are committed to ensuring every person in Wales suffering from long COVID receives support and care tailored to their particular needs.
A review of the service has found it is helping to treat and manage the needs of people who have sought help for their symptoms.
People suffering with long Covid symptoms are benefiting from getting out in the great outdoors as part of their ongoing recovery. https://t.co/hBayekr6hm
