Learning all about your condition, your symptoms, your medication and how to cope when you get flare-ups is key, as is getting support from others. Having this knowledge and support makes your day-to-day life easier and can reduce the risk of needing to go to hospital.

British Lung Foundation COPD self-management plan

The BLF are proud to announce their recently updated, interactive COPD self-management plan. Hopefully it will help you manage your condition better.

How do I use this plan?

The first half of this self-management plan explains what COPD is, how you can manage it well, and what to do if you have a flare-up of your symptoms. 

The second half of the plan has blank forms for you to complete to help you monitor your condition and progress. If you download our plan to your device, you can complete these forms on there – you don’t have to print it out.

Use this plan in the way that works best for you – daily, weekly, monthly. It doesn’t need to be completed overnight!
