This course offers a respiratory update for those clinicians already leading in respiratory care and wanting to refresh their current skills and knowledge base. With a focus on asthma care in the morning and COPD in the afternoon, allowing you the flexibility to book separately or attend both sessions back-to-back.
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. There will be opportunity to discuss case studies and real live scenarios, exploring best practice and reflecting on management plans.
