This webinar provides an overview of the national Elective Care Respiratory Pathway programme, focused on improving pathways for sleep, breathlessness and chronic cough. You will be introduced to our implementation toolkit, with practical guidance on how to adopt and scale best practice pathways in your own organisation, and hear directly from early adopter sites.

Why attend

Whether you are looking to reduce referral to treatment times, address unwarranted variation, or strengthen multidisciplinary working across primary and secondary care, this webinar will give you practical tools and real-world perspectives to help you get started.

Who should attend

This webinar is for clinicians, service leads, commissioners and anyone working in or across respiratory services who wants to improve the sleep, breathlessness and/or chronic cough pathways for their patients.

About the programme

The Elective Care Respiratory Pathway programme is commissioned by NHS England and led by Health Innovation Oxford and Thames Valley (HIOTV). HIOTV is coordinating delivery across England and supporting NHS teams to implement recognised best practice in sleep, breathlessness and cough in a way that works in real services. The programme supports providers to reduce referral to treatment times, address unwarranted variation and strengthen multidisciplinary working across primary and secondary care.
