Thoracic Gym

In 2022, we were delighted to be able to open a dedicated gymnasium on Oak Ward specifically for our thoracic service users.

The gym:

Supports swifter rehabilitation, recovery and discharge for patients that have undertaken thoracic surgery with us.
Improves physical and mental health and wellbeing with a designated ‘safe space’ for patients to relax, chat or complete their breathing exercises.
Area for patients to undertake virtual beach walks which often improves the positivity of a patient’s mindset and boosts confidence.
In some cases, the gym has avoided the need for patients to undertake a bronchoscopy.
