Site Visits
We offer an annual ‘Site Visit’ to every NHS Board to provide updates and to offer a forum for discussion of learning examples, difficult situations and development of ideas for PrBL opportunities. This can be done virtually or face-to-face dependent on what suits each individual site. If you feel a Site Visit is required, please get in touch with your Profession contact.

Student Led Exercise Groups
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
A Student Led Pulmonary Rehabilitation Exercise Group was set-up in April 2021 by Physiotherapy Lecturer Sara Knight to bridge the gap created by the Covid-19 pandemic. This was originally a virtual class but has now evolved to a hybrid class where participants can attend via zoom or face to face on campus. The class runs most Monday afternoons throughout the year. Please contact exerciseclassSHS@rgu.ac.uk for more details.
