Prevention and Early Identification Strategy
Of the 3.5 million people in England with COPD, only 800,000 have
been diagnosed, leaving 2.7 million people who have the disease, without
knowing it. A toolkit of information and tools have been put together
to help clinicans, commissioners and other groups and organisations to
help prevent people getting lung problems and to identify those who have
as quickly as possible.

To support this strategy an 'Activation Plan' has been put together
to highlight the key issues and show how Prevention and Early
Identification can be delivered in practice.

To support this there is a Campaign toolkit - including logos,
graphics and an explanation of the key groups to target. This will give
you the key elements of what you need to deliver a local campaign.

Accompanying the campaign toolkit is a detailed 'Insights report' -
which identifies the key groups and what will motivate them to change
behaviour and improve their lung health - including a list of do's and
dont's.

There are also a series of background documents explaining the
approach and methodology of the campaign and underpinning analysis.
