Programme Safety

  • Prior to inclusion, participants are screened by physiotherapists to assess eligibility.
  • Exacerbation of symptoms/ new onset of symptom are referred to a clinical escalation team who decide if the participants needs to be paused. If a participant is paused they need GP clearance before resuming the programme.
  • During phone calls, patients are always screened for post-exertional malaise (PEM) and postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTs).
