Background:

  • Chronic lung disease is a leading cause of healthcare consultations.
  • An estimated 3 million individuals in the UK may have undiagnosed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
  • This article is part of a series focusing on long-term conditions.

Observation:

  • Policy developments have been implemented to manage the burden of chronic disease in England and Wales.
  • Current policies may not adequately address the specific challenges posed by COPD.

Findings:

  • The existing policy framework for chronic disease management in England and Wales has been reviewed.

Implications:

  • Further policy development is required to effectively manage and address the prevalence of COPD.
  • Enhanced strategies are necessary to reduce the burden of undiagnosed COPD in the UK population.
