“COPD is a major challenge locally, with admission rates significantly higher than the national average. This funding will allow us to build on the work we've already started with our partners to improve how respiratory care is delivered. By working more closely with primary care, community services and local mining charities, we want to identify patients earlier, provide more specialist support in the community and help people stay healthier for longer.”
