Patient experience of COPD care: outcomes from the British Lung Foundation Patient Passport.

Discussion: Responses to the BLF COPD Patient Passport identify substantial gaps in patients' experience of care, which did not appear to improve during the 5 years covered. These data provide a unique yet commonly overlooked perspective on care quality, and highlight that new approaches will be needed to meet the ambitions to improve respiratory care set out in the NHS Long Term Plan.
