Yet another successful video clinic providing Respiratory Physiotherapy treatment to patients recovering from #COVID__19.

Here is my learning:
1) we’ve been able to provide the majority of treatments effectively by video. Both breathing pattern retraining and airway clearance.
2) video clinics suit many patients.
3) lots of patients have embraced virtual consults, where we may previously have identified barriers.
4) our patients have been very patient, understanding and flexible whilst we’ve been finding our feet.
5) it has reduced our DNA rate but only because we can now do video consults whilst patients walk the dog/ do the school run/ take the train inter city- a whole new set of challenges!
6) we’ve seen really good effects of breathing pattern retraining post COVID via video.
7) ask your patient to count the number of sit to stands when exercise testing becuase your video quality might not hold out.
The NHS is innovating at speed. We’ve jumped into the unknown and so far so good.

Exciting times to work in healthcare. #physiotherapy #covidrehab #digitalNHS #digitalAHP #Telemedicine
