This program gives clinical Indigenous health workers the opportunity to increase their knowledge and skills in spirometry (a test to measure lung function) through the provision of workshops in urban or rural areas of Queensland. The program is free and offers flights and accommodation, as required. The two day workshops are accredited for 14 continuous professional development (CPD) points.
The Spirometry training program for clinical Indigenous health workers was developed by the Lung Function Testing Workgroup, part of the Queensland Health Statewide Respiratory Clinical Network. This program is linked to the Queensland implementation plan for the Closing the gap on Indigenous health outcomes national partnership agreement and will run until the end of 2012.
