Optimising inhaler technique workshop

All healthcare professionals who come into contact with people who are using inhalers should be able to check inhaler technique and provide advice to improve the use of inhaled medicines. This workshop will develop knowledge, skills and confidence to support patients to improve their outcomes and have an impact on the quality of life for people with COPD and asthma.

CPPE are running this face-to-face workshop in Thames Valley.

Food and refreshments will be served on arrival from 7:00pm.

The workshop will run from 7:30pm until 9:30pm.

The programme will consider the different types of inhaler devices available and how the dose is delivered in

technique.

After completing all aspects of the programme, participants should be able to:

As well as a great CPD learning opportunity, you will be able to network with colleagues in person.
