About this service
Glenfield Hospital is one of the UK’s major respiratory centres, and Leicestershire has a high burden of COPD, post-COVID and other long-term lung conditions. For many people, getting to a clinic-based pulmonary rehab class isn’t realistic — either the breathlessness itself, transport or anxiety gets in the way.
Jay delivers an NHS-style pulmonary rehab programme in your own home, using the same evidence base (BTS pulmonary rehabilitation guideline) and outcome measures as hospital-run classes — just at your pace, in your living room.

Shepshed FAQs
I get really breathless walking — will exercise make it worse?
No — controlled exercise is one of the strongest treatments we have for chronic breathlessness. Jay starts you at a safe level and builds gradually.
I’ve had Long COVID for over a year. Is it too late?
Not at all. Pacing-based rehab is the cornerstone of post-COVID recovery and gains are very achievable, even years on.
Can you visit if I’m on home oxygen?
Yes — Jay regularly works with patients on long-term oxygen therapy and adjusts the programme around your flow rates and saturations.
Do you travel to Shepshed and surrounding villages?
Yes — Jay covers all of Shepshed including Belton, Hathern, Long Whatton, and the surrounding LE12 postcodes. Travel fees only apply for the most outlying villages and are confirmed on your free phone call.
My relative has just been discharged in Shepshed. Can you start straight away?
Hospital-to-home transitions are core to Jay’s NHS background. Where capacity allows, a same-week visit in Shepshed is usually possible. Get in touch directly to confirm.
