Sponsored Sessions

This practical workshop will sensitise participants to the devices available for diagnosing respiratory conditions and the decisions involved in selecting the right device for their practice and the individual patient. It will work smartly to address the challenges of supply and choice, focusing on the devices and how they could add value to primary care, independent of the availability or the technical barriers to implementation.

By the end of the session participants will have 

1. Used typical primary care clinical scenarios to discuss the key diagnostic questions
2. Considered the pros and cons of different diagnostic tools in general
3. Reflected on feasibility and considerations such as price, supply chains, barriers from other healthcare professionals, training and evaluation
4. Reached preliminary conclusions about the next steps for their practice in terms of accessing diagnostic tests: that is, answering the question “what do I need the device for in my environment?”
