The COPD Baton Pass was founded in 2023 to raise awareness of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and highlight the vital role of physical activity and exercise in its management.
This free, global online event takes place each year on World COPD Day—a day that too often passes without the recognition it deserves. The event's name reflects the idea of passing a virtual baton around the world: starting in New Zealand and moving westward through stories and presentations from patients, healthcare providers, and researchers, before concluding in the Americas.
Anyone can take part by visiting copdbatonpass.org. On the day, a live stream link will be available to access all sessions and activities. We warmly invite people living with COPD, their family and friends, as well as healthcare professionals and researchers to join us online.
Throughout the day, you'll hear from experts and lived-experience voices on topics such as: What pulmonary rehabilitation involves and how to access it What people with COPD think of pulmonary rehab Recommended physical activity for people living with COPD Practical strategies to support breathlessness management and increase activity How wearable technology can help you stay active Insights and research updates from around the world
Importantly, the event is interactive, with opportunities to ask questions live and engage directly with speakers.
Join us to connect, learn, and help raise awareness of COPD and the power of physical activity in improving life with the condition.
