If appropriate, you will have an opportunity to implement changes with your patient to improve clinical outcomes. This audit includes a 1 hour pre-learning presented by New Zealand and international GPs and specialists, you will learn more about the bi-directional link between COPD and CVD2 as they review evidence-based strategies to optimise COPD management, including reducing exacerbations.
