British Lung Foundation event for COPD patients - please promote
Date: 08 February 2018
In collaboration with the British Lung Foundation, Bromley CCG are putting on an information event on 19th April 2018 at Crofton Hall, Orpington to promote self-management and support available in the community, primarily the Breathe Easy patient support group.
Since Bromley’s Breathe Easy group is in Orpington, we thought it most sensible to invite patients from around this area as they are most likely to attend the local group. We are asking for practices from the Orpington cluster if they would be interested in doing a mailout to patients on their COPD register inviting them to attend. Postage costs will be covered by the BLF, and we would ask that this is completed in the last week of March.
This will be on a first come, first served basis as the event can only cater for approximately 100 people. We are looking into the viability of putting on another event later in the year in the Bromley/Beckenham area to feed into other local Breathe Easy groups.
The event will include talks from clinicians, a presentation from patients who attend Bromley Breathe Easy, and some taster sessions of local classes such as singing or tai chi; agenda is to be confirmed.
