Northamptonshire Health and Care Partnership Stories: Breathing Space

Breathing Space is a service for anyone in Northamptonshire diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and their unpaid carers.

Fortnightly Breathing Space groups are held at venues around the county, with the aim of empowering their members to take control of their health and wellbeing.

As well as giving people regular access to clinical advice from a GP or specialist nurse, the groups provide support with relaxation, healthy eating, getting active, self-management and the practicalities of everyday living.

There’s also the chance to benefit from emotional support plus opportunities to share experiences with others and enjoy fun social activities.
