Bringing best practice to life in COPD

Posted on by Physiopedia

Guidelines in Practice is hosting a series of free half-day workshops to drive implementation of the National Strategy for COPD,* and the updated NICE COPD guideline. The Paper to Patient programme, funded by Allen & Hanburys, the specialist respiratory division of GlaxoSmithKline, and developed in partnership with PCRS-UK, is a major educational initiative, which aims to improve care in COPD.

These workshops are intended for healthcare professionals involved in implementing COPD guidance within the NHS; for example, those working in practices, PCTs, and multidisciplinary teams managing patients with COPD within the local area.

Key areas for discussion include:

  • a review of the guidance and what it means to your practice
  • identifying what you need to do now: simple, practical actions to drive implementation
  • generating a clear plan for your local area/practice.

The workshops are taking place at the following locations:

  • Newcastle on 15 September at the Novotel Newcastle, Ponteland Road, Kenten, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE3 2HZ
  • Manchester on 28 September at the Cresta Court Hotel, Church Street, Altringham, WA14 4DP
  • Birmingham on 30 September at the Crowne Plaza Birmingham NEC, Pendigo Way, National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, B40 1PS
  • London on 7 October at the Holiday Inn Regents Park, Carburton Street, Oxford Circus, London, W1W 5EE.
