Different agents involved in COPD management agree that the main challenges to improve COPD management are resource shortages in primary care nursing and lack of training in the use of COPD clinical guidelines. Clinicians and administrators involved in COPD management support the implementation of urgent measures to tackle the underdiagnosis of COPD, especially in primary care, along with the routine inclusion of respiratory rehabilitation programmes for COPD.
