Transforming diagnostic services: focus on physiological science
Improving earlier diagnosis of major conditions improves outcomes for patients and can reduce pressure on hospital services.
Tests such as lung function tests, hearing assessments and echocardiograms to name just a few, are known as physiological science services and deliver diagnostic services that assess the function of our major organs. They are a vital part of the diagnostic process for many major conditions.
This session will explain how we can improve earlier diagnosis of major conditions by transforming access to physiological science services.
In particular, the session will focus on diagnosis of serious heart and lung conditions, as well as hearing loss.
