Asthma Waikato is holding a spirometry course (PDF) to provide the knowledge and tools required to accurately complete the test.
This course is designed and run by a Clinical Physiologist. It is an interactive course, providing both presentation and hands on opportunities to learn more about spirometry, understand the international guidelines for the performance of quality spirometry and develop both your skills and confidence in maintaining and using your spirometer.
This two-day interactive course follows AS/ERS guidelines and a certificate will be provided if the participant has attended the full course, has completed the exam satisfactorily, submits a portfolio and 10 spirometry test results for auditing purposes.
2020 has been designated as the year of the nurse and the midwife by the World Health Organization, and Pinnacle is very keen to support this.
