World Spirometry Day - Helping to raise the awareness of lung health across the West Midlands
2 September 2010
2010 is Year of The Lung, and as part of this campaign, October 14th 2010 is World Spirometry Day. A number of events (with the aim of raising the awareness of lung diseases); will be taking place all over the world and across the UK. Monica Fletcher (Chief Executive at Education for Health) in her new position as incoming Chair of the European Lung Foundation is co-ordinating the UK activity, along with representatives from the BLF, BTS,ARTP, REUK, AUK, PCRS-UK and the Department of Health.
We will be contributing to this important day working with the West Midlands SHA Respiratory Leads by running free half day spirometry workshops across the West Midlands. The workshop ‘interpretation of spirometry and its implications to clinical practice’ will be delivered using cases studies and will be aimed at GPs and Practice nurses. We plan to put on 4 workshops across the region, with the aim of running 2 workshops at each venue with 20 people attending each session. It would be really fantastic if we could reach 160 healthcare professionals during the course of the day!
For further information on attending the workshops, or even helping out with this exciting opportunity, please contact Sandy Walmsley, Joint Respiratory Clinical Lead West Midlands SHA at sandy.walmsley@nhs.net
