Spirometry Simplified, a leading initiative by the global clinical network and charity International Primary Care Respiratory Group (IPCRG), seeks to empower primary care clinicians worldwide by promoting the widespread and equitable adoption of spirometry. Our goal is to facilitate earlier and more accurate diagnoses of people with obstructive airway diseases, leading to timely and better management, enhancing the quality of their care and ultimately improving their quality of life. This certified course was meticulously crafted by an esteemed, experienced global faculty of master teachers of spirometry to primary care. This comprehensive programme equips primary healthcare professionals and their support staff with the essential skills to proficiently prepare for, conduct, assess, and interpret high-quality spirometry tests.
