Join this webinar to explore the assessment and management of chronic cough through practical, case-based discussion, including the application of national guidance and clinical pathways.

Chronic cough is a common presentation in primary care, yet identifying the underlying cause and determining the most appropriate management pathway can be challenging.

In this webinar, Kevin Gruffydd-Jones will be joined by Sean Parker and Dhiren Dayal to explore the assessment and management of chronic cough through practical, case-based discussion, including the application of national guidance and clinical pathways. Using real-world scenarios, this panel of experts will share practical tips to support earlier diagnosis, effective treatment and appropriate referral.

This webinar will cover:

- recognising when a persistent cough may indicate an underlying chronic condition, rather than recurrent acute episodes,
- identifying red flags and deciding when further investigation or referral is needed,
- practical approaches to assessing chronic cough in primary care, including baseline investigations,
- different presentations of chronic cough,
- improving patient outcomes through timely diagnosis and treatment, and
- using national guidance and pathways, as well as advice and guidance resources.

This is the second in a series of three webinars looking at the management of chronic cough and breathlessness in primary care:

1. Breathlessness and chronic cough in adults: Challenges currently being faced by primary care (available on demand)
2. Management of chronic cough in adults within primary care
3. Management of breathlessness in adults within primary care (registration open)
