Attendees can expect to learn about the rationale and evidence underpinning the inclusion of patients recovering from COVID-19 in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). This sessions will also debate if PR is the best intervention for this population or if other forms of rehabilitation/ other treatments are better placed.
• Define the rationale for COVID-rehabilitation in terms of ongoing patient symptoms
• Better understanding of the evidence underpinning rehabilitation in the post-COVID population and other treatment approaches available in order to better advise patients on treatment options
• Utilize the most appropriate outcome measures in this field
