What will happen on your first visit?
Your first appointment for Pulmonary Rehabilitation will initially be done on the phone and last up to one hour. We will then invite you to attend a face to face appointment to do some walking tests. If you are attending an initial appointment for Covid Rehabilitation, it will be face to face and last up to two hours. Please wear comfy clothing and footwear to your face to face appointment.
One of the team will tell you about the Pulmonary or Covid Rehabilitation Programme, depending on which one you have been referred for, and what it involves.
Please bring your medication, or prescription form, and details of any other clinic appointments that you may have.
