CIH Spirometry SOP and Concerns - Message from David Long - With the testing HUBS starting to produce and send your patients spirometry results to you, there seems to be a need to refresh clinician skills on interpretation. I am more than happy to attend the practice for a "lunch and learn" to help with this. To enable me to provide this, it will be pharma supported with a short presentation and refreshments provided by them. A minimum of 10 delegates either from same practice or combined is needed. I will then present and would be happy to look at your own examples of spirometry at the Q&A session. It would take 1hr for education and extra 1/2hr if you want the Q&A part. Please contact dlong1@nhs.net
