This Enhancing the Diagnostic and Management of Respiratory Disease Level 7 module is suitable for healthcare professionals (HCPs) and professions allied to medicine (PAMs) who are involved in the differential diagnosis and management of respiratory disease.
Symptoms such as breathlessness, cough and wheeze are common in a range of respiratory (and other) conditions and this module supports HCPs and PAMs to take a deductive and analytical approach to making a diagnosis. One condition will then be chosen by the HCP/PAM in order that they might evaluate treatment options for people with this condition, synthesising an evidence-based approach.
