Helping to Maintain the Enthusiasm

Keeping your group going....

This page focuses on suggestions for keeping the group going beyond the initial meeting. Many of the support materials used when setting up a new group can be adapted for future meetings. The key opportunity here is to find topics and speakers which will interest the attendees, expand the group to encompass more disciplines and to motivate everyone to deliver their action plans.

The momentum and motivation of the group can come from within the group itself or be driven by:

  • what is happening in the local healthcare environment regarding respiratory disease directly, for example:
    • implementing new or updated asthma guidelines
    • developing a pulmonary rehabilitation service
    • iimplementing the National Strategy for COPD
  • or by using national or local health policies to gain momentum in respiratory disease, for example:
    • engaging clinicians by developing respiratory networks
    • developing care pathways in asthma or COPD
    • reducing unplanned or emergency admissions by focusing on patients with respiratory disease
There is no end of opportunities to improve the care of such patients. By establishing a local nurse group, the range of topics for future meetings is endless, they just need channeling to meet the needs of the local community over time.

The Primary Care Respiratory Society UK is grateful to Allen & Hanburys, the specialist respiratory division of GlaxoSmithKline for their support of the Primary Care Respiratory Society UK nurse programme
