Let's treat body and mind. Collaborative rehabilitation for chronic breathlessness

1. People with emphysema suffer breathlessness and present with varied health and social needs. 2. Needs analysis can usefully use the WHO classification of impairment and handicap, also assisting with the nursing contribution and determining research priorities. 3. Rehabilitation aims to be responsive to clients' needs so they benefit from healthcare. 4. A CPN and RHW discuss their collaborative roles as a whole and finding this of greater value than their individual contributions.
