Another Bradcliff scholarship recipient! This time from England. 🎉🏴
"I run a respiratory physiotherapy outpatient clinic at the Queen Elizabeth NHS Hospital in Birmingham, England. Within my clinic I review a range of patients including COPD, Bronchiectasis, ILD, Post Covid and Respiratory Muscle Weakness patient cohorts. Whilst there is a vast difference between these patient’s presentations, the common factor is that many of them present with a dysfunctional breathing pattern. A large part of my role is therefore educating patients on breathing pattern disorders and guiding them through individualised re-training programmes.
After specialising into respiratory physiotherapy I quickly gained an interest in Breathing Pattern Disorders (BPD) and amazed by the difference I could make to my patients by improving their breathing pattern efficiency. This scholarship will allow me to gain further insight into BPD management in order to continue to advance the care which I provide for my patients. By developing my knowledge on Inspiratory Muscle Training and Exercise or Sport for BPD patients I will be able to assist a wider range of patients to achieve and exceed their goals." - Jess Shingler, England
