What is Pulmonary Rehabilitation?
Many people with a lung condition become
short of breath whilst carrying out their
every day activities. Being short of breath
can be very frightening and subsequently
some people reduce the amount of activity
they do. However, avoiding these activities
can lead to decreased fitness and even
more breathlessness.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation is designed to help
you manage your breathlessness, improve
your fitness & ability to carry out daily
activities, increase your confidence and
improve your knowledge & understanding
of living with a lung condition.
Who will benefit from Pulmonary Rehabilitation?
Pulmonary Rehabilitation is aimed at
people who have been diagnosed with
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease) and/or experience breathlessness
in their daily life.
It is essential that individuals are motivated
to take part in the programme to gain the
full benefits.
How can I take part in Pulmonary Rehabilitation?
To take part in a rehabilitation course you
would need to be referred to the Pulmonary
Rehabilitation team. The easiest way to be
referred is to contact one of the following:
•Your GP
•Your Practice Nurse
•Your COPD Nurse
Pulmonary Rehabilitation courses
These are 6 week programmes led by
a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Nurse or
Physiotherapist. You would be required to
attend for an assessment which will last
approximately 1 hour and then once a
week with each session lasting 2 hours.
There are a maximum of 10 people in each
group providing a supportive and friendly
atmosphere.
The sessions include:
•A graded exercise programme tailored to
each individual’s needs.
•Educational talk covering all aspects of
your lung condition.
The Exercise programmeThe exercise programme consists of
different exercises which are designed to
improve upper & lower limb strength &
endurance and cardiovascular fitness.
Additionally, a home exercise programme
is provided to allow you to continue the
exercises in your own home.

topics including:
•Breathing control
•Panic and anxiety management
•How the lungs work & lung disease

Where do the courses take place?
We aim to bring this service as close to your
