The GPs View of Breathe Easy

Our Hopes & Plans for East Lancs

Breathe Easy Burnley

  • learn how to live better with lung problem
  • Social Club, Friendships
  • Share you experience
  • #SelfCare
We see Breathe Easy as being central to supporting patients who are living with a lung condition in Burnley

#Self-Care is...

  • Knowledge & Understanding
  • Understand the jargon
  • understanding what your choices are & what help is available
self care is all about
Knowledge and Understanding

understand what the medical jargon or words mean

understand what help is available in your area

Many practices offer the option of being able to do things like book appointments online , or even read your hospital letters online.

Your breathe easy group probably has members who can do that already , and who could help you, or who know where to find the help if you need it.

New Diagnosis

What, Why, When, How ?
can you remember how you felt when your doctor first mentioned that they thought you had COPD ?

It can feel frightening and confusing ,

why me , why now, what can i do to make it better ?

There are a whole bunch of questions that pop up when you come across something new , some thing that you haven't experienced before .

being part of a group like breathe easy can help with that

Our Plan

Seed a Breathe Easy Group in Each locality by April 2016
So i have covered why we think that breathe easy is a good thing,

Now we get to the big plan for Breathe Easy in East Lancashire

We are starting with Burnley, and plan to roll this out to the other areas of East Lancs by April 2016

I

Breathe Easy Burnley

  • Its Your Group
  • We want to help you to make it great
  • Use us CCG & LungUk for advice
This is YOUR group

Using the experience of LUNG UK we have a reasonable idea of how to get this off the ground, but each area is different , and has its own likes and dislikes.

We have secured funding for you to meet at Burnley Football club for the first 6 months. After that it is up to you , Burnley Breathe Easy , to decide where you would like to meet , and how much you are prepared to pay for the room hire.

You will continue to get receive advice and support from us and lung UK , but the running costs of the room hire , tea and coffee will be met by you.

CCG & Lung UK

  • Providing funding for first 6 months of Each group
  • £2k from Social Prescribing grants from the CCG for each of the 5 localities
  • Additional initial funding funding and support from LungUK

Self Supporting after 6 months

... and look to open up offshoots
