Overview

Our Asthma and COPD training course will equip delegates with the knowledge needed to provide appropriate and effective treatment and support to patients.

Relevant to healthcare professionals in all sectors of care, our Asthma and COPD course will inform delegates of latest developments and guidelines. It will enable them to assist clients in managing their conditions and, where possible, prevent progression across all stages of the diseases.

The content reflects the priorities for care identified in the NICE (2010) guidelines for the management of COPD in adults.

Our Asthma and COPD training has a recommendation rate of 100% and is accredited by the Royal College of General Practitioners. On completion, delegates will be awarded with a certificate of attendance and 6 CPD points.

All Annie Barr Associates clinical courses are led by trainers who are qualified healthcare professionals with a wealth of clinical and teaching experience. Non-clinical courses are delivered by suitably qualified and experienced professionals who are experts on the subject matter.

Please note: This is a full day course. Delegates are asked to arrive at the venue for registration at 9.30am. The training will take place from 10.00am - 4.00pm.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
