The focus of the module is on cardiac and pulmonary populations; it will deepen the student's understanding of cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation and enable the student to analyse an individual's rehabilitation needs.

Aims
To deepen the student's understanding of cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation
To develop the student's ability to critically evaluate rehabilitation programmes for cardiac and pulmonary populations
To enable the student to analyse an individual's rehabilitation needs and plan an effective evidence-based rehabilitation strategy for that individual
