    Making a diagnosis of COPD

    The aim of this programme is to help instil correct COPD diagnosis in practice, identify patients on COPD registers that may not have the condition, and to identify the missing patients who may be living with undiagnosed COPD. Check out the TV show and tutorials on the diagnosis of COPD in practice. When you are ready, navigate to the assessment to achieve the certificate.

                            Overview of the project

                            This is the first of two projects, with the aim to review the COPD register and ensure all patients have an accurate diagnosis of COPD.

                            Why is it important?

                            Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 11.5% patients on the COPD registers have evidence to support their diagnosis of COPD.

                            Who is this for?

                            This QI project is aimed at primary care teams who have a register of COPD patients.

                              This is the second of two projects, which involves inviting a patient in for a review of their COPD diagnosis and coding them correctly.
