When in 2009 Joy Gana-Inatimi embarked upon a PhD in self-management strategies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients she had no idea her
involvement in clinical research would have such a profound impact on her team, and on patient health outcomes.
Over the years Joy’s steely focus on providing evidence-driven care has led to a new approach for the Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) service at the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital. Recently this has culminated in the service securing additional funding for expansion from the Liverpool Clinical Commissioning Group.
Explaining how the physiotherapy-led service has developed as a result of her research, Joy, who is the clinical lead in chest medicine and pulmonary rehabilitation, says the main change has been the fostering of a much greater understanding of the importance of data gathering and analysis for service development.
As part of her doctorate training with the University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN), Joy has learnt data analysis skills and passed this knowledge of handling and interpreting data on to her team who now produce mid-year and yearly outcomes reports. These are proving invaluable in informing service-level agreements with commissioners.
‘The whole ethos of the team has changed, now we are all looking at health outcomes and evidence-based practice,’ she says.
The Liverpool PR programme is currently run over fi ve community clinics and one based in the hospital. The team comprises chest physios, exercise physiologists and therapy assistants/support workers. ‘The Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital is unique in having this skill mix within its PR service,’ says Joy.
With COPD the theme for next year’s Physiotherapy Works programme, Louise Hunt reports on a new approach to care by the Pulmonary Rehabilitation service at the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital
