New Rehabilitation and education programme for people suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases
January was a very exciting month for me and for some of the people of Sonning Common, near Henley on Thames, South Oxfordshire, as The Sonning Common Surgery under the auspices of Dr Ed Diggins and myself piloted a rehabilitation programme for people suffering from chronic chest diseases, such as Chronic bronchitis, emphysema and asthma.
Patient responses
Patients reported that they had found the course very useful. The most important thing was that they had learned how to breath! They also found they had more energy, felt more confident to partake in exercise as they were no longer afraid of becoming breathless. They felt much happier in themselves. All looked forward to participating in new activities or continuing old ones more successfully.
