Module Asthma Management (level 6)

This module will develop knowledge and understanding in the assessment and management of children and adults presenting with asthma. The importance of history-taking and how to recognise when a patient's condition is becoming unstable will be emphasised. Evidence-based treatments as well as lifestyle, health promotion and concordance will be reviewed in order to promote the best outcomes for the patient with asthma.

You will need to complete an induction prior to commencement of your first module. We have a comprehensive online induction package to welcome you to both the university and your programme of study.
