PCRS Webinar: Re-designing Respiratory Digital Clinical Pathways during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond
In association with Spirit Digital, we are delighted to be hosting this webinar.
Although the virus has been devastating for so many, it has also accelerated development and adoption of technology across many areas of the healthcare system. It has also highlighted challenges and opportunities as we move into a post-pandemic world.
Treatment for patients with lung disease costs the NHS £11 billion annually and with the increased spotlight on respiratory care due to the impact of COVID-19, looking for new ways to embed digital clinical pathways to care for patients with respiratory disease has taken on a new importance.
In this insightful webinar, respiratory nurse specialist Vikki Knowles, will delve deeper into the successes, challenges and barriers faced by Professor Sudip Ghosh, Associate Medical Director, Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust and Dr Noel O’Kelly, Clinical Director, Spirit Digital when embedding technology in respiratory clinical pathways. They will share their experiences of being at the forefront of remote healthcare delivery in Leicestershire and Lincolnshire.
Vikki was a member of the Executive Board of PCRS-UK for three terms and is currently a member of the Education and Policy Development Committees. She represented Primary Care interests in the development of the British Thoracic Society Home Oxygen Guidelines, which were published in 2015, and contributed to the Home Oxygen Quality Standards which followed this. She is currently contributing to the flexible working group with Clinical Policy England.
