Better breathing for life

The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) ‘Better Breathing for Life’ Project is an exciting and innovative scheme that aims to improve care for patients with COPD throughout Lambeth and Southwark. Charitable funding was secured in the expectation that successful improvement of patient outcomes would be reflected in reduced hospital admissions, and that the associated savings would justify long-term funding of the initiative. This article will highlight the aims and interventions of the project.
