Learn

COPD remains a major contributor to morbidity in Australian general practice, with recognised gaps between guideline recommendations and real-world care. This RACGP-accredited activity supports GPs to align management with the latest COPD-X guidelines and optimise patient outcomes.

Through practical audit and benchmarking, participants will enhance action plan use, improve medication management, and strengthen patient self-management—reducing exacerbations and hospitalisations.

Learning Outcomes

1. Evaluate the gaps between your practice and recommendations from the COPD-X Plan
2. Determine appropriate non-pharmacological strategies (including pulmonary rehabilitation) to optimise therapy in patients with moderate to severe COPD
3. Determine appropriate pharmacological strategies to optimise therapy in patients with moderate to severe COPD.
4. Identify suitable resources for patients with COPD to enhance their ability to self-manage their condition
5. Review changes that are required to improve the quality of care for patients with COPD in your practice.
