Why Download This Guide?
When you are living with COPD, it can be difficult to remember everything you wanted to say once you are in an appointment. Perhaps stairs have become harder, you are waking more often at night, you have needed treatment for a flare-up, or you simply do not feel as confident as you used to.
This guide helps you organise those thoughts before your review. It gives you a simple prompt for the questions worth asking, space to note what has changed, and a clearer way to leave the appointment knowing what happens next.
You do not need medical language. You only need to describe what is different from your normal and what you want help with.

Who Is This Guide For?
This guide is for anyone living with COPD who wants to feel more prepared before their annual review. It is also useful for a partner, family member, or carer who wants to help someone prepare, remember what was agreed, and ask for support with the practical things that make a difference.
The guide is written in plain English, designed for printing, and easy to use whether your review is with your GP, respiratory nurse, pharmacist, or specialist team.
How to Use It
Download the guide before your appointment and read the ten questions at your own pace. Highlight the ones that feel most relevant today, add your notes, and take the guide with you. If you would like support remembering the answers, bring a trusted relative, friend, or carer.
At the end of the review, ask your clinician to write down any agreed next steps. That way, you do not have to rely on memory once you are home.
A Note from Dr Suman Paul
“A useful COPD review starts with your day-to-day experience. If your walking, cough, sleep, confidence, or ability to do what matters has changed, it deserves to be part of the conversation.”

NHS Consultant Respiratory Physician
