Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention group
HELP-COPD action plan
The trial specialist nurse trained in palliative aspects of respiratory care will arrange a meeting to suit the patients' clinical condition and convenience. During the meeting the HELP-COPD action plan will be worked through by the patient and study nurse, and any areas of concern will be identified. Based on the findings of the assessment, a range of actions points may be generated. All referrals will be made through the usual channels. Issues that have arisen from the assessment will be clearly recorded on the HELP-COPD action plan and by ensuring that all agencies and the patient have copies of the plan it is hoped that the planned action points will be reviewed and implementation facilitated. The action plan will be reviewed by the study nurse who will contact the patient at 1, 3 and 6 months to check progress with action points.
