Programme Of Care

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary education and exercise programme of care for patients with chronic respiratory disease, particularly Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It aims to reduce symptoms, decrease disability, increase participation in physical and social activities and improve overall quality of life in patients who may still be very disabled despite optimal pharmacological treatment. Pulmonary rehabilitation first began more than 30 years ago and is now established as an important part of the management of COPD.
