Richard welcomes Dr Mai Elftise to the podcast who is a GPwSI in respiratory medicine. During the episode we discuss the assessment of patients who present with protentional respiratory pathology. This includes history taking , red flags, investigations and referrals. We use Dr Mai's knowledge to introduce a case of a patient with possible COPD to assess and arrange appropriate investigations and referrals when needed.
As always thank you to Scott for your help and support.
