All-Wales COPD Management and Prescribing Guideline
The National primary care COPD audit for Wales highlighted one in four patients do not have a record of post-bronchodilator spirometry consistent with the diagnosis of COPD. Furthermore, too few COPD patients undertake the greatest value non-pharmacological interventions and too many are instead put on triple therapy inappropriately.
