In this article we discuss how to incorporate environmental considerations when selecting inhaler devices for patients newly diagnosed with respiratory disease.

As of April 2021, regional health and care needs in England will be coordinated through Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) (https://www.england.nhs.uk/integratedcare/what-is-integrated-care/).

“As the world returns to normal, we can’t go back to busines as usual” reads the headline on the Earth Day website.

The start of a new year is an ideal time to support patients to consider small ways to begin working towards a healthy lifestyle.

PCRS is calling today (18th November 2020) for action to promote greener healthcare that is kinder to the environment and in turn helps patients who live with COPD to live well.

An estimated 1.2 million people are living with COPD in the UK1 and research suggests that this number is growing (BLF 2020).

PCRS support initiatives to improve air quality and minimise short- and long-term damage to the environment, particularly those with an impact on climate change resulting from greenhouse gases.
