Annual Evidence Update on COPD: 17-21 November 2008

An update of the evidence on this topic from the NLH Respiratory Specialist Library.

The Annual Evidence Update for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) will present the evidence published in this area in 2008. Building on the comprehensive review carried out to inform the NSF and presented earlier this year in February, this AEU will detail the very latest published evidence in COPD. There will be no invited commentaries or updates to the text published in the COPD National Knowledge Week earlier this year due to the close proximity of the publication of the NSF for COPD.

NKW on COPD - postponed!

Dear all
The National Knowledge Week on COPD, due to take place next week (from 12th November), has been postponed until the New Year - apologies for the short notice of this, it's due to some last-minute contact with the team working on the COPD NSF, and wanting to tie all the work being done together.
As soon as we have a confirmed date for the re-scheduled week, we'll let you know.

Thanks
Fran

National Knowledge Week on Palliative and Supportive Care for Chronic Non-Malignant Diseases: 22-28 October 2007

This knowledge week makes a start on several topics at once by producing a very concise tour around the current knowledge in 5 chronic 'non-cancer' diseases. It covers a different condition each day: Chronic Heart Failure, COPD, End-Stage Renal Disease, Lymphoedema and Nervous System Diseases. With support from expert contributors, we aim to build on this with a full national knowledge week devoted to each topic in 2008.
