Respiratory Programme
The aim of the programme is to provide you and your patients with an in-depth education on their respiratory condition, medication as well as to provide a support structure should they require assistance. In addition to this, the case manager will monitor the patient's health and, where necessary, make recomendations to them and their doctor.
Respiratory conditions include Asthma, Allergic Rhinitis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Cystic Fibrosis and Bronchiectasis. It has been our experience that those members, who participate fully in the programme, minimise the risks of costly and unnecessary complications. As a result, these members will enjoy optimal health and extended benefits.
We believe that the benefits offered will provide you with the best possible care. The above mentioned respiratory conditions require holistic management by means of PREVENTION and lifestyle interventions (exercise, avoidance of triggers and continuous monitoring) as well as appropriate TREATMENT with medication. In order to achieve the goals set out to obtain maximum control of your respiratory condition, our programme offers a professionally trained Respiratory Case Manager to assist you to gain knowledge about your respiratory condition and guide you to obtain the skills and confidence to manage your condition.
