Nantwich and Rural Care Community are hosting an awareness day for local people living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on Thursday September 6.
COPD is the name for a group of lung conditions that cause breathing difficulties because the lungs have become inflamed, damaged and narrowed – normally through smoking and sometimes through air pollution.
The British Lung Foundation reports around 2% of the whole population – and 4.5% of all people aged over 40 – live with diagnosed COPD.
It’s feared many more cases are undiagnosed.
In terms of diagnosed cases, this makes COPD the second most common lung disease in the UK after asthma.
All patients diagnosed with COPD and registered with a GP in Nantwich and Rural have been sent an invitation to this event.
The purpose of the day is to help patients manage their condition and will include:
– Understanding the symptoms of COPD
– Recognising early signs and when to act
– Explaining support systems and services available locally including self care
– Speaking to the clinicians who provide COPD care
There will be a range of healthcare professionals at the event who will be on hand to talk to patients about their care and the support available.
The event will run from 12.30pm to 4pm on Thursday September 6 at Church View Primary Care Centre, Nantwich.
