The aim of this programme is to develop your skills and confidence in supporting people to optimise their adherence to medicines in asthma. You will consider how to identify non-adherence, the different types of non-adherence and how to use a person-centred approach to optimise adherence through personalised interventions.
This Respiratory Assessment and Examination Level 7 module has been designed to enable the student to analyse the role of history taking, respiratory assessment and examination in the diagnosis of respiratory conditions.
Students will advance their knowledge and understanding of the assessment process to consider the complex interrelationships between patient and practitioner and to evaluate the appropriate use of investigations and clinical examination, enabling them to work through the diagnostic process systematically, using reasoned deduction.
The module contributes to the development of knowledge and understanding of clinical examination and the principles which underpin respiratory assessment and diagnosis.
