Pulmonary Rehabilitation is a specialist program of tailored exercise and education for people with chronic lung disease. Conditions treated by Dudley’s Pulmonary Rehabilitation Team include Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Bronchiectasis.
‘Pulmonary Rehabilitation should be available to all appropriate people with COPD including those who have recently been hospitalised with an acute exacerbation. NICE 2018’
‘Patients with interstitial lung disease to include IPF benefit from pulmonary rehabilitation with improvements in exercise and quality of life. BTS 2013’
‘Pulmonary Rehabilitation should be offered to all people with bronchiectasis who consider themselves functionally limited by breathlessness. BTS 2019’
