Book now for the Spirometry workshop, which will take place on Sept 2nd in Dublin!

Who should attend?
This workshop is intended to be a basic introduction to spirometry for primary care professionals with little or no previous experience of performing spirometry. It will also act as a good revision for those with more experience.

What will the course cover?
This workshop covers:
The purpose of spirometry
Preparing the equipment, the patient and yourself
The issues that ensure safe and reliable spirometry
The parameters measured in spirometry and the terminology used
Performing the tests
Interpreting the results

Why attend / What are the benefits?
As spirometry is essential in both the diagnosis and management of COPD, it is now increasingly performed in primary care as well as secondary care. Because of this, every practice should have a spirometer or access to one. Provided they receive appropriate training and support, the GP or practice nurse can perform spirometry. It is essential that they maintain their competence and ability to interpret the findings of spirometry as well as being aware of the factors that can cause unreliable results. The workshop is aimed at beginning this process.

Where is the course?
There will be two workshops on the day giving attendees the choice of attending the morning or the evening session.
Places are limited to 15 per workshop. Tea / coffee breaks and a light lunch are provided. Cost €150. Discounts are available for Promed customers. Please contact your account manager for details.

Date: Friday 2nd September 2011
Venue: Radisson Blu St Helens Hotel, Stillorgan Road, Dublin.
Registration Times: 8.30am for the morning workshop, 1pm for the afternoon workshop

Who is the presenter?
The workshop will be presented by Corinne Clark
