COPD – Device Workshop
Dr Andrew Scroop, Respiratory and Sleep Physician; Founding Director of Respiratory Consultants, St Andrews Medical Centre
The COPD device landscape is as broad as it can be confusing. In this short workshop presentation Dr Scroop takes us through the basics of understanding the COPD and asthma device maze, including an outline of the main brands, classes of device and key functionality.
