Consider using Blue card initiative coupled with action plan medication prescription, so patient always has acute medications at home
Encourage COPD patients and close family to have Flu
Vaccination
Facilitate COPD patients into huffers and puffers low intensity exercise class. (Need GP sign off to attend on form )
Future directions – spirometry competency for training available to practice nurses and ongoing linking with St John ambulance
