Face-to-face training |
Opportunity to ask questions |
“A study day run by health care professionals who work in this area would be beneficial and then people can ask questions” [Occupational therapist, secondary care] |
Practice manual delivery |
“I’d like to work through it with someone that had been involved in setting it up and knew what they actually are looking for” [Respiratory nurse, secondary care] |
Manual delivery demonstrations |
“A DVD would be a simple way you could do a team teaching session, stick the DVD in and watch it” [Physiotherapist, secondary care] |
Demonstrate exercise section |
“Particularly [for] the exercise part you need a hands on, demonstrated part rather than just sitting and talking about it” [Respiratory nurse, secondary care] |
Observe motivational process |
“I’d love to see [the manual] in action and how [the health care professional] talks to the patients and motivates them” [Respiratory nurse, secondary care] |
Group interaction |
“When you actually get together […] you’ll bounce off each other’s ideas […] sometimes the most simplest ideas come out of group discussions” [Occupational therapist, secondary care] |
Self-study |
Manual familiarization |
“I would really need to spend a lot of time looking through it myself and getting to know it” [Community respiratory nurse, primary care] |
Independent study |
“Blood gases and patients retaining things and being hypoxic […] I think on those more medical things I need to brush up on” [Occupational therapist, secondary care] |
Observations |
Allied COPD services |
“I keep meaning to go and visit the pulmonary rehab, I’ve been years ago and I’ve seen what I can remember of what goes on there, but it wouldn’t hurt to go again and just update […] and any ideas that I can pick up on that they can give me” [Community respiratory nurse] |
E-Learning |
Accessibility |
“Face-to-face training might be difficult, I think e-learning might be an idea as you can access it from anywhere as long as you have a computer” [Physiotherapist, secondary care] |
Demonstrate understanding |
“You could be assessed as to whether you’ve got the right amount of knowledge” [Research physiotherapist] |
Engagement with material |
