Our latest social media news
This is a new weekly COPD Peer Support and Exercise Group which is starting in Fossa, Killarney on Thursday July 31st. This new group is a result of a partnership between the HSE and COPD Support Ireland and follows on from the existing and very successful COPD Peer Support and Exercise Group in Tralee.
There are many benefits of peer support in chronic disease such as:
☑️ Increased knowledge and understanding: Sharing experiences and learning from others can help people better understand their condition and how to manage it.
☑️ Improved emotional well-being: Peer support can help reduce feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression associated with chronic illness.
☑️ Enhanced self-esteem and self-efficacy: By connecting with others who understand their challenges, individuals may feel more confident in their ability to manage their condition.
The exercise class will be run by a trained exercise instructor. It is free for adults living with COPD, the only ask is that each participant joins COPD Support Ireland of which membership is also free.

💘High blood pressure is a silent killer
❤️One in four of us are walking around and unaware of our numbers been high
💘a simple blood pressure check could save your life
💘if you get a high reading at your GP Practice , pharmacy or opportunistic BP clinic then teh Gold Standard next step is wearing a BP monitor for 24 hours
💘 This will give you day and night average readings and depending on results you may be started on medication
💘Hypertension or high blood pressure is hereditary and one of the main risk factors of heart disease
