The pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) audit, a component of the National Asthma and COPD Audit Programme (NACAP), is a continuous clinical audit with a biennial (in alternate years) organisational audit component, launched in March 2019 in England, Scotland and Wales. All services who treat patients for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are eligible to participate.
The main report, which is the first combined clinical and organisational report following the launch of continuous data collection, presents data describing:
- patients assessed for PR between 1 June and 30 November 2019
- the structure and resourcing of PR services between 1 July and 30 September 2019.
