About this event
This webinar was fully funded by MSD as a sponsor of this webinar and is intended for UK healthcare professionals only. MSD had no input into the webinar agenda, choice of speakers or arrangements of this webinar.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) affects people’s ability to do even the most simple activities without getting breathless. It can have a serious impact on their mental health and wellbeing. There is currently no cure for most types, but treatment at a specialist centre can help patients enjoy a good quality of life.
However, many patients are experiencing delays in referral and diagnosis because PH can be confused with other conditions. This webinar for respiratory nurses will update your knowledge on the signs and symptoms of PH and help you identify when a referral to a specialist centre is needed. It will outline the treatment and management of PH so you can support your patients effectively.
Our PH and respiratory nurse experts will give strategies and tips on overcoming the challenges to diagnosis and addressing health inequalities. Plus all your clinical questions answered.
