medical - health leaders - Nantwich Health Centre, based at Church View Primary Care Centre

Nantwich and Rural Care Community are hosting an awareness day for local people living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on Thursday September 6.

COPD is the name for a group of lung conditions that cause breathing difficulties because the lungs have become inflamed, damaged and narrowed – normally through smoking and sometimes through air pollution.

The British Lung Foundation reports around 2% of the whole population – and 4.5% of all people aged over 40 – live with diagnosed COPD.

It’s feared many more cases are undiagnosed.

In terms of diagnosed cases, this makes COPD the second most common lung disease in the UK after asthma.

All patients diagnosed with COPD and registered with a GP in Nantwich and Rural have been sent an invitation to this event.

The purpose of the day is to help patients manage their condition and will include:

– Understanding the symptoms of COPD
– Recognising early signs and when to act
– Explaining support systems and services available locally including self care
– Speaking to the clinicians who provide COPD care

There will be a range of healthcare professionals at the event who will be on hand to talk to patients about their care and the support available.

The event will run from 12.30pm to 4pm on Thursday September 6 at Church View Primary Care Centre, Nantwich.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

    I had been hospitalized for 4 years in a row all in the same month march, for shortness of breath. They thought it was asthma. The last time which was this year, they hospitalized me for a week. Which they ran lots of test and determined I have COPD. The symptoms I had were shortness of breath, tired, and coughing.There has been little if any progress in finding a cure or reliable treatment. I was seeking something to help regain my life to be able to do things for myself. Through my primary physician i learnt about a COPD disease herbal formula from NATURAL HERBAL GARDENS and their success rate with the treatment, i immediately started on the COPD disease herbal protocol, I am glad to report the herbal formula worked effectively and there was no side effects, I had a total decline in symptoms, the Chest tightness, shortness of breath and other symptoms stopped, my COPD disease is totally REVERSED, Here is a link to the website we ordered from ww w.naturalherbalgardens.c om This Herbal Protocol is Incredible!!
