We've been trying to run some visualisation scripts using python runtime but it requires external packages such as matplotlib to be installed. Usually this is done using pip but that dosent seem to work, does anyone have any advice for a work around?

Using the python runtime app is quite limit in its functionality and only libraries (.py files) not using any dlls can be used. They can simply be loaded beside your executed script file. See general documentation here as part of "ctrlX CORE Runtime, Application Manual".
See also the external standard Python documentation to see already included libraries.
For full functionality you will have to build your own snap bringing your own python runtime and packages with it. See SDK documentation on GitHub.
