• Exercising for better health • Understanding your medications • Maintaining a healthy diet
• Losing or gaining weight • Managing breathlessness • Managing flare-ups and chest infections • Quitting smoking • Making the most of your health professionals • Getting the right support
In this space you might like to write down other topics you would like to discuss with the health professional: ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________
