The aim of this course is to update and improve the knowledge and skills of participants in best practice physiotherapy management of patients with acute and chronic cardiorespiratory impairments within acute, subacute and ambulatory / community settings. The intent is to build on previous ‘entry level practitioner' knowledge and expectations, and to assist with the ongoing development of skills and competence of the participants within the cardiorespiratory specialty area. At the completion of this course and in combination with course notes, readings and self-directed learning endeavours, participants should be able to demonstrate more advanced clinical reasoning skills in identifying and resolving cardiorespiratory problems. Attendees will have participated with the following sessions and will have an understanding of the physiotherapy problems related to the assessment and management of patients from a cardiorespiratory perspective. This course is a mandatory component of the experiential titling pathway in Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy.
