Posted on: 22 Oct 2019

Three healthcare professionals, Dr Keith Pearson (Head of Medicines Management, HMR CCG), Dr Susannah Thompson (Medical Director, TyneHealth GP Fed) and Sophie Toor (Clinical Director, Respiratory Matters Ltd), engage in a discussion of why they chose to implement FeNO testing within their practice, how they went about it, how a FeNO test can be used to support diagnosis, the key objectives for a FeNO-managed service and how to secure funding for a FeNO service.

Make sure to watch some of the snippets following the main video, which include a demonstration of how to use a NIOX machine and key questions you may have on FeNO testing and implementing it within your practice.

The main video and mini snippets have been produced by Cogora with funding from Circassia. All educational content within these videos has been created and checked by Circassia.
