Abstract
The overlap between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchiectasis is a neglected area of research, and it is not covered by guidelines for clinical practice. Here, we provide a position statement from the BRONCH-UK Consortium that is intended to be of interest to both clinicians and researchers. While we are making recommendations based on expert consensus, one of our aims is to provoke debate. Through discussion of COPD–bronchiectasis overlap, we also aim to promote research in the area, driving improvements in patient care.
