Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a long-term condition of the lungs where the flow of air to the lungs is obstructed. Symptoms include cough and breathlessness. The condition is most often caused by smoking and the most important treatment is to stop smoking. Inhalers are commonly used to ease symptoms.

As part of your COPD monitoring, you will be contacted by SMS or letter with a link to book an appointment to see a Practice Nurse. 

Patients with COPD are eligible to receive a flu vaccination annually during Influenza Vaccination Season. We will contact you when we start to accept bookings for this.
