Introduction
Throughout this essay patient scenario two will be discussed. The patient is a 54-year-old man named Tim who has a diagnosis of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder). This essay will seek to assess Tim’s care against COPD frameworks, one aspect of the RRC (Relationship-centred care model), and finally the two themes of care.

COPD is a condition that can have various effects on structures located in the lungs, subsequently making it difficult to breath. Tim is a gardener by profession, however since his diagnosis of COPD he is finding his exercise tolerance is decreasing and is therefore worried that he will be unable to work. In this instance, it would be appropriate to offer pulmonary rehabilitation as a viable form of treatment to help build his exercise tolerance (Bolton et al, 2013). A UK based charity (The British Lung Foundation, 2017) encourage people living with COPD to undergo pulmonary rehabilitation as the programmes combines physical exercise with discussion sessions on how to manage symptoms. Offering pulmonary rehabilitation would provide Tim with a sense of purpose as a lung rehabilitation course would provide Tim with an opportunity to learn how to remain physically active while managing his symptoms to have better control. Although pulmonary rehabilitation is not a cure for COPD the rehabilitation programme would assess and help Tim to identify steps to reach his goal of bettering his exercise tolerance so that he is able to cope better when at work (Ahmedzai et al, 2012). Therefore, providing a sense of purpose as Tim would be able to engage in meaningful activities with hope to achieve a goal of having better exercise tolerance so he can earn a living to support his family and pay his
