Advanced 10-Hour CPD Programme

Develop advanced clinical assessment, diagnostic and management skills to support confident decision-making in adult asthma, using current evidence and national guidance.

This 6-week blended programme is designed for healthcare professionals with existing experience in asthma who want to strengthen their ability to assess complex presentations, make robust diagnoses, individualise treatment and manage patients across the asthma pathway.

Learning combines self-paced e-learning, case studies and live interactive webinars, with a focus on applying evidence and guidance to realistic clinical scenarios.

​
