COPD-X Handbook Conflicts of Interests
Correct at June 2024
COPD-X Handbook Working Group
The COPD-X Handbook Working Group was responsible for a major upgrade of the COPD-X Handbook, which had not been updated since the 2018 resource (then called the COPD-X Concise Guide). The multidisciplinary working group was convened from 2023 to 2024.
All below-named members of the COPD-X Handbook Working Group were required to lodge declarations of potential conflicts of interest with Lung Foundation Australia. Such disclosures include the receipt of unrestricted educational grants, sponsorship, consultancy or other affiliations with the pharmaceutical, medical equipment or diagnostic industries.
Each committee member held a volunteer role in the COPD-X Handbook Working Group for Lung Foundation Australia (http://lungfoundation.com.au/), a not-for-profit public benevolent institution.
