Today, Wednesday 19th November, is World COPD day. 🫁

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the name for a group of lung conditions that cause breathing difficulties. COPD is a common condition that mainly affects middle-aged or older adults who smoke. Many people do not realise they have it.

The aim of COPD day is to raise awareness, share knowledge, and discuss ways to reduce the burden of COPD worldwide.

If you have any concerns regarding your COPD, we have specialist COPD nurses who can help with any concerns or questions.
