Pulmonary Rehab Group Volunteer (Luton)
The Community Respiratory Service aims to provide holistic care and support for adults who are diagnosed with a range of chronic lung disease including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma, Bronchiectasis and Interstitial Lung Disease.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation is an evidenced based exercise and education programme for people with a lung condition. The service provides a 6 week programme which includes 2 sessions a week – with each session providing an exercise section and an education section. Following the programme patients are encouraged to continue exercising with Total Well Being Luton.
This volunteer role will support the Community Respiratory Service by helping with group rehabilitation sessions, encouraging patients to carry out their prescribed exercises, gaining feedback about the service provided, and assisting with administration tasks.
