Quick Reference Guide to the COPD National Strategy - new resource from the PCRS-UK to support local implementation.
The Primary Care Respiratory Society UK is delighted to announce the launch of a Quick Reference Guide to the COPD National Strategy, a web based resource which summarises the key recommendations from the ‘Consultation on a strategy for Services for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in England’ document. This resource aims to be of use to busy clinicians, healthcare managers and commissioners, providing them with a key points summary of sections relevant to primary care in a quick, easy to access format.
A slide set, based on the Quick Reference Guide, is also available to PCRS-UK members only. This aims to support primary care respiratory leaders in their local implementation and education of local colleagues.
The author, Dr Hilary Pinnock, University of Edinburgh and Whitstable Medical Practice, says “The Quick Reference Guide highlights the key points from the Strategy of particular relevance to primary care practice, and provides links to further information, important evidence and practical resources to support implementation. So, if you perform diagnostic spirometry for your practice, review people with COPD, care for those with severe disease, or just see patients who smoke, this resource can link you to information that will help your clinical practice and inform the development of services”.
