Description

About the MedAll Primary Care CPD Programme

We are passionate about making great medical education easily accessible and we power thousands of medical courses and events every year. In light of the increasing commitments faced by healthcare professionals, including the rising cost of living and strained practice finances, we felt compelled to do something. It's why we have introduced a flexible, easy access CPD programme for doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals working in primary care. We recognise that the high expense of traditional CPD update courses is a significant barrier, and by collaborating as an entire primary care community we hope we can offer a practical, accessible alternative that delivers exceptional value.

About our speaker: Dr Steve Holmes

He has been chair of PCRS, is on the BTS council and research and science committee nationally and is involved with the International Primary Care Respiratory Group on their education committee. He has been a senior education (associate dean) in NHS England and has been on the RCGP Council for more than 13 years and PCRS Executive for more than 20 years. He has more than 300 publications to his name but remains passionate that good clinical care makes a difference to our patients. Steve has been involved with the major respiratory charities and is working with the Taskforce for Lung Health. He aims to provide key tips on the areas that make a difference to clinicians working on the frontline in making good respiratory diagnoses and providing the care we all want to provide.

Accreditation Note

This event is not formally accredited by an external organisation for CPD points. The current guidance for GP CPD is that it is appropriate that the credits you self-allocate should equal however many hours you spent on learning activities, as long as they are demonstrated by a reflective note on lessons learned and any changes made or planned (if applicable).

Summary

In this essential webinar tailored for General Practitioners, we will focus on the latest updates in diagnosing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in primary care settings. As COPD remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, accurate and early diagnosis is critical for effective management and improving patient outcomes.

Learning objectives

  • Enhance Diagnostic Accuracy

  • Familiarise yourself with the latest evidence-based guidelines for diagnosing COPD, including the GOLD 2024 updates.

  • Identify and manage common pitfalls in diagnosing COPD, including distinguishing it from asthma and other comorbid conditions.
