PrimaryBreathe is a 5-year NIHR funded programme that aims to develop and test a brief primary care intervention for the management of chronic breathlessness (see https://www.primarybreathe.phpc.cam.ac.uk/ ). The programme is being conducted across five regions in England, and has international links with a team in Melbourne, Australia.

Six individual studies will be undertaken within three workstreams; two cross-cutting themes focus on implementation and inclusivity. After a series of developmental studies, the programme centres on a cluster randomized trial recruiting over 600 patients from primary care, with associated qualitative process evaluation and implementation strategy co-production.
