Description

Until recently COPD was largely neglected by health professionals and viewed as the Cinderella of respiratory conditions.

Many patients were seen as heart-sink cases with a self-inflicted disease.

But views are now changing and COPD, like other chronic conditions managed within primary care, has taken on a higher profile within the Government and NHS agenda.

This book reflects that change. It looks at the treatment of COPD in primary care: in the GP surgery, in outpatient clinics, and through district and community nursing.

COPD management does not depend on purely medical intervention; much can be done to help these patients from a psychological, social and holistic perspective to cope with their everyday activities.

Patients lead a frightening existence, struggling to breathe and to cope with their symptoms.

The book helps nurses and other healthcare professionals to support these patients.
