Introduction There are early data to suggest that a rehabilitation programme can help with on-going symptoms of COVID-19, including breathlessness, exercise limitation and fatigue. As yet, there are no published data to understand patients’ perceived acceptability of a rehabilitation programme for COVID-19. Methods 2 focus groups ( n = 9) and 4 one to one interviews were conducted with participants who attended a rehabilitation program following COVID-19. Interviews were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis with an inductive approach. Results Two overarching themes were generated from the data. The first, The Recovery Journey is sub-divided into five sub-themes of Expectations, Individual and Varied Journeys, Mental and Physical Improvements, Self-values and The Journey Continues. The second overarching theme, The Rehabilitation boat contains five subthemes: Programme Delivery, Safe and Supportive, Validation and Assurance, Shared Reflections and Education. Conclusion A rehabilitation programme for post COVID-19 symptoms was considered to be acceptable and viewed positively in terms of improving physical and mental symptoms. The opportunity to share the experience with others in the same boat was highly valued in the context of an unexpected and potentially lonely COVID-19 recovery.

With recent data indicating that 25% of those hospitalised with COVID‐19 require rehabilitation (Daynes et al., 2021 ), establishing the extent of these symptoms will be crucial to enabling the delivery of effective post‐infection care.…”

“…2 Up to 25% of individuals admitted to hospital with COVID-19 felt they needed rehabilitation, although the proportion of non-hospitalised patients requiring support for symptoms is intangible. 3 , 4 The need for rehabilitation causes a huge demand on current and emerging services in the context of the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on service provisions. Considering this, there is a huge need for a variety of flexible interventions to improve the lasting symptoms of COVID-19.…”
