Do you live in Islington? Would you like to give your opinion on living with mild COPD?

6 Replies

The BLF are conducting important research into the needs of people with 'mild' COPD in Islington.

We'd like to speak to you if you have been diagnosed with COPD and these statements apply to you:

(MRC 1). Not troubled by breathlessness except on strenuous exercise

(MRC 2). Short of breath when hurrying or walking up a slight hill

We would also be interested in speaking to you if you have moderate / severe COPD (MRC 3-5) and can reflect on what your needs were during the mild stages.

Please get in touch to share your experiences and be part of this exciting project:

Hi, Ad To Ask Why Islington .... Is No City Basically The Same :P

We are doing a pilot in Islington. The hope is always for a pilot project to be rolled out nationally.

If we don't find enough participants in Islington, we may recruit people from areas with similar demographics.

Thank you!
