Current NRAP reports

The primary role of NRAP is to support individual clinical teams to make improvements in the quality of care they deliver.

The combined reports (State of the Nation (Drawing Breath) and Outcomes) cover multiple or all workstreams – primary care, secondary care (adult asthma, children and young people asthma and COPD) and pulmonary rehabilitation.
