About

Accurate diagnosis of asthma and COPD in primary care is essential to ensure patients receive the right treatment, avoid misdiagnosis, and reduce unnecessary prescribing. This interactive two-hour update is designed for GPs, ANPs, and Practice Nurses who are involved in respiratory care and decision-making.

This session will cover:

  • Key differences between asthma and COPD in presentation and progression
  • Practical approaches to history-taking and assessment
  • The role of spirometry, FeNO, and peak flow in diagnosis
  • Red flags and when to refer for further investigation
  • Case-based discussions to apply learning to real-world practice

Delivered in a relaxed lunch and learn format, this session offers an opportunity to refresh knowledge, share experiences, and build confidence in making accurate respiratory diagnoses.
