Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Participant is willing and able to give informed consent for participation in the trial.
- Male or Female, aged 40 years or above.
- Diagnosed with COPD (primary or secondary care diagnosis) with spirometric confirmation of airflow obstruction (FEV1/FVC ratio \<0.7).
