CPD Hour – Breathing Pattern Disorders in Primary Care

It was also a pleasure to present a CPD session at St John & St Elizabeth Hospital on recognising and managing breathing pattern disorders in primary care. The record enrolment of over 500 practitioners reinforced my belief that breathing assessment is becoming recognised as a core clinical skill, not just a specialist interest. The session focused on practical assessment, clinical reasoning and multidisciplinary management—helping clinicians recognise breathing dysfunction earlier and make more informed treatment decisions. Thank you yet again to Arlene Klue and the team at St John's and St Elizabeth.

My key message: “breathing assessment should become as routine as blood pressure and temperature taking“.
