Knowsley Community Respiratory Service achieves accreditation for Pulmonary Rehabilitation

We are extremely proud of our Knowsley Community Respiratory Service for achieving accreditation for their Pulmonary Rehabilitation Service. 

The team were assessed by the Royal College of Physicians earlier this year.  Accreditation is awarded to services which have demonstrated they meet best practice quality standards covering all aspects of a pulmonary rehabilitation service including quality and safety, patient experience and the workforce.

Furthermore, LHCH was the first pulmonary rehabilitation service across Cheshire and Merseyside to achieve this accreditation.  Feedback from the report published included:

• The service should be congratulated on their cohesive, motivated, and open ethos, culture and team approach.
• The service should be congratulated on the visible and engaged leadership at all levels of the organisation.
• The service should be congratulated on the feedback from the patients, which included excellent, transformative, responsive, friendly, caring and professional person-centred care.

Sharon Faulkner, Lead Nurse for Community Services said:

“A huge congratulations to all our teams (pictured) who work so hard on a daily basis to provide outstanding care for our patients and families.  It’s because of them that we have been able to achieve this accreditation and deliver a service we are all proud of."
