COPD Right Care Question & Challenge Cards

The COPD Right Care programme is building a global social movement to imorove care for people living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, guided by our strategy document "What does good quality COPD care look like"? IPCRG identified several gaps in the understanding of and care for people with COPD, and has produced two tools to help fill these gaps. The first is the COPD Wheel, which focuses on how to explain COPD to someone with the condition and a summary of the current management guidelines, and the second is these Question & Challenge Cards. 

These cards can be used to start conversations between clinical peers, with people with lived experience and with students about COPD, offering information and asking provocative questions to create more awareness of shortcomings in knowledge and understanding about COPD in the following areas:

  • COPD conversation starters
  • The importance of bronchodilation in treating COPD
  • The importance of correct inhaler technique and adherence
  • Who benefits from inhaled corticosteroids (ICS)
  • Differential diagnosis of asthma & COPD

Pilot edition for testing (May 2024). Created and designed by IPCRG. An educational grant from Boehringer Ingelheim enabled IPCRG to develop and test this tool. For feedback visit tinyurl.org/copdcardsfeedback
