As you may be aware, since early January 2022, the Asthma foundation NT has not been able to perform spirometry due to the rise in COVID 19 numbers via community transmission.
We stopped this service in accordance with National guidelines and in the safety interest of both staff and clients.
We have been continuing our services to the public via telehealth, offering phone and Zoom consults for education and support.
When changing or booking appointments we have surprisingly met some resistance. Many people have said to us “If you can’t offer Spirometry right now what’s the point of having an appointment”.
So, we put our heads together and came up with:
12 Reasons to speak to a respiratory health educator even though they can’t do Spirometry right now:
Of course, these are not the only reasons why you should contact us, but they are the top 12 we came up with.
If you have a referral to us from your GP and Jill (our office manager) calls you to make a phone appointment, please book in we would love to speak to you.
If you don’t already have a referral but some of our reasons resonated with you…give us a call.
If you have a GP referral great! If you don’t, that’s fine you can still book with us.
Give us a call on 1800 ASTHMA (1800 278462) or email Jill on [email protected] and she will call you to arrange an appointment.
AFNT acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we meet and conduct our services, respecting language and culture and elders past and present.
