Dr Gareth Roberts, consultant respiratory physician and chief of service for transformation and continuous improvement will explore the latest community services on offer for patients with COPD and other lung diseases.

Including:

• The post-discharge rehabilitation programme
• Chronic respiratory conditions
• The services the Trust provides to help patients stay as healthy as possible and avoid admission to hospital

Respiratory disease affects one in five people in the UK and is the third biggest cause of death in England after cancer and cardiovascular disease. 

Cases are climbing and during the past seven years, hospital admissions for lung disease have risen at three times the rate of all admissions generally.

The event will provide advice and guidance on how people can keep their lungs in the best condition when living with a chronic respiratory problem
