This course offers a respiratory update for those clinicians already leading in respiratory care and wanting to refresh their current skills and knowledge base. These lively updates will include an overview of current guidelines, revisiting the evidence base for medicines, treatments and non-pharmacological approaches to care, including management of exacerbations.
