@BinitaKane @nratnarajah81 If you contact your regional respiratory network they may have some generic ICP and diagnostic protocols for you. We did that for North East and Cumbria

A more proactive approach to accurate timely diagnosis and prevention of exacerbations and disease progression is needed for people with COPD.

Today, a #COPDPolicyActionPlan has launched, which outlines a number of key ambitions for change https://t.co/VF7aPXGYsb

Did you know that people with COPD have 4 times greater risk of falling compared to age-matched adults? Fantastic talk from @kjdukie at #BTSpulmrehab helping us to think about balance training in pulmonary rehab.

[Respiratory CNS team Lister @RespCNSLister]

@negin868 Thank you, but the pharmacy we went too said that Pharmacist have stopped doing due to supply issues during covid .

[Louise Lomas @lou_lomas]

As a member of clinical staff I know about the pressure we face in primary care . As a user of the system I have never been so upset frustrated and angry. I can completely understand the anger of our patients! It feels impossible to get basic help.

How important maintenance of their condition is, preventer inhalers are crucial and with appropriate doses.
Mostly how lucky I am to be fit and well. Based on this experience with my partner I will remember how scary it can be and treat my patients accordingly!

[Louise Lomas @lou_lomas]

Asthmatics have most of them !
It has reminded me most of all about how poor knowledge in primary care and hospitals, of asthma is. How easy it would be to end up in AE or to have a significant asthma attack, because they give up trying to be seen.
