The aim of this study is to test the feasibility of conducting a pragmatic fast track Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) of the Breathlessness Intervention Service (BIS) versus standard care for patients with COPD and their carers, and to begin testing the effectiveness of the intervention.

Breathlessness Intervention Service (BIS)
|
Behavioral: Breathlessness Intervention Service (BIS)
BIS consists of a clinical specialist physiotherapist & palliative care consultant. It aims to manage the symptom of breathlessness in patients with any disease using a rehabilitative approach. Interventions include: evidence-based non-pharmacological interventions (psychological, social & physical); palliative care input (e.g. end of life issues, psychosocial issues, family concerns); & pharmacological review. This BIS seeks to enhance self-management of breathlessness. Uniquely, care is located in clinic or in patients' own homes, as appropriate. Referrals come from medical specialists, GPs & allied health professionals (with medical consent).
