This course covers the epidemiology and pathophysiology of COPD, with particular reference to risk factors and comorbidities. Students will explore accurate history-taking and assessment in relation to diagnosis and differential diagnosis, and will discuss objective tools available to assess disability and health-related quality of life for patients with COPD. The course is grounded in a person-centred approach to supporting patients with COPD and their families and carers, and is set within the context of wider cultural and socio-economic factors that may affect patients' abilities to manage their condition.
