Summary

Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a rare disease that makes patients easily become breathless. There is evidence that people with PH can benefit from exercise; we want to look at how they can access rehabilitation in their local community. Aim: To see if it is feasible to study physiotherapy well-being reviews in PH. Step 1: We will interview some patients with PH who have had rehabilitation and ask questions about their experiences. We will also ask what they think we should measure to show any difference their rehabilitation has made to them. The findings from Step 1 will help us to shape the details of Step 2, where we will conduct a small study to see if it is feasible to run a full study. Participants will be divided randomly into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group will have a physiotherapy well-being review, leading to referral to their most suitable local rehabilitation service and follow-up after 6 months. The control group will receive brief exercise advice and follow-up after 6 months. The findings will help to design a full study and be shared with patients and health professionals.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Well-being review and rehabiliation	For their well-being review, patients will meet with a physiotherapist specialist in PH and discuss: * how they are * what they can do for themselves * what it is challenging for them to do * how active they are * if they have ever exercised before The physiotherapist will then make a referral to the most suitable rehabilitation service local to the patient e.g. rehabilitation classes, physiotherapy at home, weight-loss programmes.
OTHER	Qualitative Interviews	Patients who have previously undergone rehabilitation will take part in a semi-structured interview to explore their experience and the impact it has had
