The BTS COPD Consortium was established in 1997 when the BTS COPD Guideline was published.  It aimed to provide related educational materials for healthcare professionals; and to raise the profile of this "cinderella disease" amongst health professionals, patients and policy makers.  The COPD Consortium  continued its work  after NICE published its COPD Guideline, developing materials which helped disseminate the key messages in the Guideline, and it met for the last time in June 2007. 

The documents listed below were all published by the COPD Consortium and are available to download.  Please note that BTS is no longer able to provide hard copies of these documents.
