COPD Assessment

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.

Depending on your score, you may need to be referred for pulmonary rehabilitation. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a programme of exercise and education for people with a long-term lung condition. For more information, please visit the British Lung Foundation website or NHS England website.
