FREE Webinar: Clearing the Way: Airway Clearance Essentials
Airway clearance is an important component of respiratory care, helping patients manage secretions, reduce symptoms, and improve quality of life. However, with a growing range of techniques and devices available, it can be challenging for Primary Care clinicians to understand the options and support patients effectively.
Join respiratory expert Rachael Colclough for this practical webinar exploring the principles of airway clearance and the techniques available to support patients with respiratory conditions.
The session will provide an overview of current approaches to airway clearance, including the use of oscillating positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) devices and how clinicians can support patients who have already commenced treatment. Through case-based discussion and practical examples, delegates will gain a clearer understanding of when airway clearance techniques may be appropriate and how they fit within wider respiratory management.
By the end of the session, delegates will be able to:
Understand the role of airway clearance in respiratory care
Recognise the range of airway clearance techniques currently available
Gain an overview of OPEP devices and their place in patient management
Support patients who are already using airway clearance devices and techniques
Apply key guideline recommendations to clinical practice
Explore real-world case studies and practical examples
