Best practice thunderstorm asthma and respiratory workshops
Since 2002, the National Asthma Council Australia has offered best-practice asthma and respiratory management education workshops for GPs, practice nurses and allied health professionals, supported by the Australian Government. Access our workshop calendar here.
Thunderstorm asthma workshops were held across Victoria over the past few months, mostly hosted by Primary Health Networks to upskill and prepare professionals on this very specific topic.
Members of RACGP, APNA or PSA can find the newly developed and evidence-based online learning modules on thunderstorm asthma in their professional organisations’ online learning platforms.
