Our specialist respiratory nurse educators are mobile, delivering consultations from our Napier clinic, in client homes, or other locations in the community.
They will work with you to get an understanding of the current state of your condition while assessing medication and lifestyle factors that may be impacting your condition.
Whānau/family are welcome to attend consultations. This ensures that everyone is educated and is on the same page when it comes to understanding and supporting whoever has the respiratory condition.
