Funded Activity Summary

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is characterised by persisting limitation to airflow and is usually caused by smoking. This disease significantly reduces quality of life and life expectancy. This fellowship will support full assessment of a new model of community self-management support, health mentoring by trained nurses, for people with COPD that aims to improve their quality of life, decrease health care costs and empower patients to better manage their own disease.
