This is a 2 day course on 6th and 20th March. Please make sure you are available to attend both days.
Day 1 focuses on the fundamentals of asthma, including its definition, the importance of a good clinical history, and diagnostic tests. It covers the diagnosis of asthma in children and explores various asthma guidelines. The day concludes with an in-depth look at inhaler types, techniques, and considerations in choosing inhalers, followed by action plan development.
Day 2 builds on the previous days learnings, with a focus on monitoring asthma, conducting asthma reviews, and creating Personalised Asthma Action Plans (PAAPs). Participants will learn about assessing and managing asthma attacks and review the National Register of Asthma Deaths (NRAD) for insights into asthma management. The course concludes with case studies and discussions to solidify the learning experience.
