This course aims to provide an evidence-based approach to the management of the breathless patient. Assessment skills will be linked to the relevant physiology so participants understand the medical management of the breathless patient with effective teamwork.

The management of patients with COPD, asthma, restrictive lung disease, heart failure, neurological disease and malignancy - in hospital, community and hospice settings will be discussed. Information on the constituents of a pulmonary rehabilitation programme will provided in conjunction with a supportive current literature. These learning activities and problem solving skills will be supported by videos, a patient demonstration and case studies.

Who is this course aimed at ?

The course is ideal for all respiratory staff dealing with breathless patients.
