Helping people to safely manage their lung condition
Our Pulmonary Rehabilitation programme is designed for people with chronic lung conditions who experience symptoms of breathlessness, helping them to self-manage in the long-term.
Our aim is to improve the patient’s exercise tolerance, which in turn can help them to feel less tired and increases their confidence and independence when exercising.
Teaching patients practical coping skills will also help to reduce the risk of going into hospital, as they will have a better understanding of their symptoms. Overall, this exercise and education programme aims to empower patients with the knowledge to manage their condition and improve their quality of life.
Accessible for all
The journey begins with the patient getting referred to this programme by their healthcare professional. After an initial phone assessment, if they are eligible, they’re enrolled on to the programme.
The programme lasts for six weeks and patients are supported by our respiratory team throughout the process.
