manage their lung condition.
The current study in Lambeth and Southwark, South London, was based on earlier research conducted in East
people with COPD which ran over the course of ten months. Seventy-two people with COPD were followed up

were found on the total and impact scores from the SGRQ, and participants also improved in their lung function.
