Long-term conditions
COPD care at home
Planned support for COPD and breathlessness at home.
From £95
This is not an emergency service. If someone has chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing difficulty, heavy bleeding or collapse, call 999 or go to A&E. We work alongside the NHS, not instead of it.
About this service
COPD care at home is planned support for people living with COPD or similar lung disease: inhaler technique, infection watch, and visits when travel to clinic is exhausting. Sudden severe breathlessness is 999.
Is this right for me?
- Stable COPD with a family who wants extra eyes
- Frequent infections where a planned visit helps
- People who avoid clinic because of breathlessness

FAQs
Can you give nebulisers or oxygen?
Only where it is already prescribed and safe in the home. New oxygen and emergency nebuliser care is an NHS pathway.
