Summary
This study tests whether personalized emails to GP practices can improve prescribing for COPD, a long-term lung condition. About 270 practices in West Yorkshire, UK, will receive either a generic or a tailored email alongside their regular feedback reports. The goal is to see if small changes in communication help doctors follow best-practice guidelines. No patient treatments are changed directly.
