Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a lung condition encompassing diseases such as bronchitis and emphysema.
Patients suffering from this condition are usually over 40 years of age, get breathless on exertion, may have a chronic cough and usually (but not always) have a history of smoking.
Nurse Castledine runs a specialised service to help patients with COPD. Patients with COPD will require annual reviews, this can be booked via reception.
