i‑IMPACT (Individualised self-Management ProgrAmme for long-term CondiTions) is an online self-management programme that is individualised for people with a long-term cardiac, respiratory or Covid condition.
This programme has been developed by a range of multidisciplinary rehabilitation healthcare specialists, wider experts and patients to manage their symptoms more effectively and reduce the impact of their condition on day-to-day life.
University Hospitals of Leicester Pulmonary and Cardiac Rehabilitation departments have over 10 years of experience in delivering web-based programmes such as Activate Your Heart, SPACE for COPD and Your Covid Recovery.
The research has shown the programmes to increase user’s knowledge around their condition, exercise performance and quality of life.
