Pulmonary Rehabilitation & supported self-management

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a structured programme tailored to an individual’s needs to reduce their breathlessness, improve their quality of life (including their fear of breathlessness), and improve their exercise capacity. The intervention therefore improves people’s ability to participate in daily life. It is an exercise-based programme accompanied by self-management education to help people live better with chronic lung disease.
