Clinical Conversations: COPD & The Human Impact

This expert interview highlights practical strategies to improve the identification and management of COPD in real world practice, emphasizing the shift from reactive care toward proactive case finding of at risk and symptomatic individuals who may otherwise go undiagnosed. Drawing on the GOLD 2025 report, the discussion explores approaches such as patient completed questionnaires, community outreach, and clearer clinical pathways to support earlier detection, even in settings with limited time and access to spirometry. The importance of clinician empathy and understanding of the patient experience is also emphasized to enhance engagement and care. By focusing on scalable, team based approaches, this interview equips clinicians with actionable strategies to reduce underdiagnosis and improve long term outcomes in COPD.
