Living Well with COPD for Pulmonary Rehabilitation

HSC R&D funding was used to develop, roll out and evaluate the Living Well with COPD for Pulmonary Rehabilitation programme in NI.

The programme is grounded on a research evidence base and involves the delivery of education to patients during pulmonary rehabilitation and helps people with COPD develop the knowledge and skills they require to appropriately self-manage their condition on a day-to-day basis. It was developed locally by the project team at the University of Ulster, and Belfast Health and Social Care Trust in collaboration with the team in McGill University Health Centre, Canada.

It has been endorsed by the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Respiratory Care (ACPRC) and the Northern Ireland Regional Respiratory Forum and the programme was highly commended in the British Thoracic Society Innovation in Delivery of Respiratory Education Award 2012.
