suspected respiratory disease, either within their own homes or in a PCN practice-based clinic,
ensuring a cohesive, holistic, and evidence-based approach to the management of Respiratory care.
This will include undertaking annual reviews, post discharge reviews and interim reviews following an
acute exacerbation to reduce risk of readmission.

supporting diagnosis of respiratory disease for the local PCN populations. The role will also include
