Abstract

Chronic cough is a common respiratory illness and experienced by up to 10% of people in the UK, according to the British Thoracic Society (BTS). Nurses can play an important role in monitoring patients, educating them about the causes of chronic cough – defined as lasting longer than eight weeks – and ensuring timely referral for investigation.
