This is an updated guideline from NICE on the diagnosis and management of COPD, published in Dec 18. It’s a pretty mammoth guideline, first written in 2004.
There is a useful flow chart on management. One for the wall…
There is a separate guideline on antibiotic prescribing in COPD, which I have done another post on.
Join Dr Andrew Whittamore, jobbing GP and clinical lead for Asthma+Lung UK, as he delves into the latest strategies and treatments for managing asthma in general practice.

"I have tried a few different platforms but nothing compares to the comfort and practicality of LocumDeck. The NASGP support team is absolutely wonderful and they walked me through the initial set-up. Once the set-up is complete, the booking process is so easy and literally happens with the click of a button. I also love the paperless pension form submissions through LocumDeck and it takes me no more than two minutes each month to send all the necessary pension forms to PCSE. I have already recommended LocumDeck to all my colleagues and it is a must-have for anyone thinking about entering the GP locum world. I wish every practice in the country would sign up."
