Asthma is a common, long-term or chronic, disease. It affects about five million people in the UK.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, describes a group of lung conditions that make it difficult to empty air out of the lungs because your airways have been narrowed.
COPD usually develops because of long-term damage to your lungs from breathing in a harmful substance, usually cigarette smoke, as well as smoke from other sources like air pollution.
The best thing you can do is stop smoking
If you have COPD, being active and exercising can help you to improve your breathing, your fitness and your quality of life. Don’t avoid activities that make you breathless: you’ll get less fit and out of breath more easily. Regular exercise can help reverse this by strengthening your muscles. Pulmonary rehabilitation is also available for some groups of patients.
A COPD annual review should cover
It is an agreement of things to do to manage your COPD between you and your nurse/doctor. If you have a plan, you are less at risk of a severe attack.

If you have one of the following conditions then you will be invited for at least an annual health check. If you haven’t, please get in touch. We share the responsibility.
Medication reviews are done on those appointments, and without it, your next prescription could be delayed.
Alert
You may need a blood test or a breathing test before the appointment, in which case the invite will say this.
The NHS health check is a free health check-up for adults in England aged 40-74.
It aims to spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and dementia, because as we get older our risk of developing one of these conditions increases.
If you would like to book an NHS health check please contact reception to make an appointment.
The health check only takes about 30 minutes.
The nurse / health professional will ask you some simple questions about your lifestyle and family history, measure your height and weight, take your blood pressure and do a blood test. From this they can give you an idea of your risks. If you are over 65, you will also be told the signs and symptoms of dementia to look out for.
You will then receive personalised advice to help lower your risk. This could include:
If a particular problem is found, such has high blood pressure, then we will make an appointment for you to see a doctor.
Here at Whitehall we offer annual health checks. For full details of the annual health check see NHSannualhealthcheck
