Long term management of COPD

The aim of this programme is to optimise a patient with COPD according to the greatest-value interventions, thereby reducing exacerbations and hospital admissions and saving millions of pounds through correct inhaler prescribing.

TV Show: Long term management of COPD

We know, by the nature of the condition, inhalers don’t tend to make a big difference to symptoms of COPD, and for this reason it’s important to start with the interventions that we know will improve a patient’s quality of life.

In this episode of the TV show we explore:

The prioritisation of high-value interventions for all patients with COPD
When to consider inhaled therapy for those who will benefit
Empowering patients to take control of their COPD

QI Projects

Inhaler Technique Check

The Asthma and COPD Annual Review (Project TWO of TWO)

0%
completed

Overview of the project

This is the second of two projects in the series, which involves checking the inhaler technique of all patients with Asthma and COPD.

Why is it important?

Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 44.4% patients on the COPD and Asthma registers have had their inhaler technique checked.

Who is this for?

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

Inhaler Technique Check

Promote online inhaler technique resources (Project ONE of TWO)

0%
completed

Overview of the project

This is the first of two projects, which involves targeting all patients on the Asthma and COPD registers and letting them know about the digital resources available which demonstrate correct inhaler technique.

Why is it important?

Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 44.4% patients on the COPD and Asthma registers have had their inhaler technique checked.

Who is this for?

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

Pulmonary Rehabilitation Referral (Project TWO of TWO)

0%
completed

Overview of the project

This is the second of two projects, which focuses on referring those patients who are functionally disabled by their breathlessness, to a formal pulmonary rehabilitation service.

Why is it important?

Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 56% of people with COPD have been referred for pulmonary rehabilitation.

Who is this for?

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

Providing High-Value Care

Promote online Pulmonary Rehabilitation programmes (Project ONE of TWO)

0%
completed

Overview of the project

This QI project will ensure that more patients are offered this high value intervention, and those who do not meet the criteria for pulmonary rehabilitation are advised to use the digital resources which contains a lot of valuable resources for patients with COPD.

Why is it important?

Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 56% of people with COPD have been referred for pulmonary rehabilitation.

Who is this for?

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