COPD Study Day

Our COPD study days have proved to be very successful for all healthcare practitioners who have a role in managing patients with COPD both in primary and secondary care. The course is based on recommendations made within the NICE Quality Standards (2011) and NICE Guideline: Management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in adults in primary and secondary care (2010).

This study day is suitable for anyone who has a role in the diagnosis or management of patients with COPD.

This full day course can be tailored to your exact needs – please just advise us of your exact requests in advance. The course is highly practical and interactive and sessions covered can include:

  • Diagnosing COPD
  • Management of stable COPD including pulmonary rehabilitation, pharmacotherapy, dietetic support
  • Management of exacerbations including the use of antibiotics, steroids and mucolytics, the use of self-management plans, treatment in hospital vs. at home
  • Managing end stage COPD
  • Oxygen assessment and review
  • Smoking cessation
  • Update on new NICE Quality Standards

The courses are run throughout the year at a variety of venues. If you are interested in attending please email info@respiricare.com for further information on dates and prices.
