About this event
NHS Wales is holding an event to provide support and guidance for people or carers of people with COPD on staying well during winter.
Join this free, interactive event for individuals living with COPD, to gain valuable insights on how to respond effectively to worsening symptoms, or a COPD ‘flare up’.
This event is highly recommended for all individuals with COPD, including those with mild COPD, as changes in COPD control can occur rapidly during winter months when common triggers like viral infections and cold air are more prevalent.
