PR is an intrinsic part of the pathway for patients with Chronic Obstructive Airway Disease (COPD) and is the most effective therapy on the “Value Pyramid” after flu vaccination and smoking cessation with evidence on reducing unplanned admissions. We need the service to be sufficiently flexible to take into account both the complexities surrounding COPD and also the fact that many people with COPD are working but would still benefit from PR. Our current service suffers from poor uptake and completion, and we aim to increase these numbers by ensuring that the message regarding the importance of PR is spread widely, and those eligible are encouraged to take up the offer. In July 2013 our data shows that out of 12,038 patients registered with COPD, there would be 3,354 who would be eligible for PR (MRC 3-5), out of these only 1,004 patients completed PR leaving 2,350 as the remaining demand. However there may be more patients who would benefit from attending a maintenance class The education/information sessions will cover such things as breathing techniques, the benefits of exercise, coping with a chest infection, inhaled and other medication, Diet and Nutrition, healthy lifestyles and self-help techniques. Although the idea of exercising if patients are breathless may seem strange if not actually frightening, but evidence shows that undertaking pulmonary rehabilitation improves the ability to exercise and as the program goes on should allow the individual to start walking greater distances and also start to feel less breathless in day to day activities. Additional information: We would welcome thoughts and ideas on how you would deliver this service to meet the needs of our patients and what innovative ways you could implement to increase the uptake and completion rates. A draft service specification is available for your information; however this is open to amendment and change following further discussions. Please note that the Commissioners will not reimburse any cost to any Provider for participating in this RFI. ### Instructions To participate, please complete and return the questionnaire located in Appendix 1 (Project ref 20002 PQQ\_29173) via the NHS Sourcing Portal [nhssourcing.co.uk](https://www.nhssourcing.co.uk).
