A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND FOUNDER OF
WRIGHT Foundation Research
I take much pride in announcing the new WRIGHT Foundation Pulmonary Rehabilitation Course, Qualification.
“The world can have no boundaries in the quest for medical and rehabilitative answers and knowledge of the pulmonary disease. Using Pulmonary Rehabilitation research and working together worldwide, we can achieve continuing advancement for all.
Written, embracing the most current research findings from the UK, Europe and the USA. This new and gold standard course is written by leading researchers, consultants, exercise and sport medicine specialists, sports scientists and fitness professionals from WRIGHT Foundation Research and our associates the acclaimed Pulmonary Rehabilitation Team from the Royal Surry County Hospital NHS Trust.
This course is endorsed for accuracy and content by leading pulmonary specialists from the UK, Europe and the USA.
This is a unique course. A joint initiative between WRIGHT Foundation Research and the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Team of the Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Trust is the First UK Pulmonary Rehabilitation Qualification course and is part of our ongoing Specialist Courses Qualifications development.
As is expected from the WRIGHT Foundation, client safety and wellbeing has been paramount in the compilation of this course.
Practical and research into the UK, European, USA Pulmonary Rehab systems have ensured this is the gold standard for Pulmonary Rehabilitation.
Yours in Pulmonary Rehab
Nick Moberly, Chief Executive of
The Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Trust
I am delighted that the Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Trust and the Wright Foundation have come together to further develop and deliver this course for the benefit of patients with chronic lung conditions. The management of long term conditions (such as COPD) is a key priority.
The initial courses run in this area by our dedicated Pulmonary Rehabilitation team will now be taken to another level with national implementation through our collaboration with the Wright Foundation.
This has to be of benefit to COPD patients who have, at present, little access to ongoing rehabilitation in community and non health care settings.
The timing of this collaboration is apt with the launch next year of the Respiratory National Service Framework which will champion schemes such as this to ensure correct management of patients with chronic lung disease.
I look forward to this venture developing and expanding year on year.
