Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a common condition and the second highest cause of avoidable hospital admissions, with exacerbations spiking throughout the winter months. ACRRM, Lung Foundation Australia and Murray PHN are please to bring you instalment three of a three part webinar series about COPD identification and management for general practitioners in regional and rural settings.
