SPIROMETRY COURSE KENYA
Spirometry from strength to strength in Nairobi Another successful 3 day Pan African Thoracic Society (PATS) Spirometry Certificate of Competence Short Course done and dusted
Pan African Thoracic Society Spirometry Training
The primary purpose of the spirometry training is to increase knowledge and awareness of spirometry on the continent. We hope to achieve this by teaching strategies not only in the theoretical and practical application, measurement and interpretation of spirometry but also on how to incorporate spirometry testing systematically into routine clinical practice in primary health care through to tertiary institutions.
Teaching methods are blended to include theoretical concepts via eLearning followed by face-to-face on-site learning through power point presentations, group work, case studies and practical mentored exercises. Following formal training attendees will have the opportunity to have portfolios of their work evaluated by the training team, offering ongoing initial support and certification of skills acquired. The course is CPD accredited.
Courses are arranged in host-countries for groups. Training opportunities are offered for individuals who would like access to further training to become future spirometry trainers and spirometry champions in host countries.
