COPD Assessment

Patients with asthma or ‘chronic obstructive pulmonary disease’ (COPD, or ‘chronic bronchitis’, an illness usually caused by smoking) are all welcome to attend an annual review with our nursing team. Our nurses are trained to do spirometry and standard asthma/COPD checkups, so you are welcome to see them.

If you have been advised by the surgery to submit a COPD assessment please use this form.

This assessment will help us measure the impact of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is having on your wellbeing and daily life. Your score will be used by us to help improve the management of your COPD and get the greatest benefit from treatment.
