FeNO Learning Collaboratives

Details of our next event to follow soon

Our FeNO Learning Collaborative, launched on the 12 October 2021, is a series of online events bringing together healthcare professionals from across the country who are currently using FeNO, are in the process of implementing testing or are interested in/planning  to do so. 

We aim to share learning, best practice, and discuss areas of interest such as barriers, training and misconceptions. The collaborative welcomes all to take part. The slides and resources from all Collaboratives will be hosted on this page. 

In collaboration with the Accelerated Access Collaborative (AAC), the 15 Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs) are  supporting projects in their regions to improve asthma outcomes (feel free to contact your local AHSN if you have any questions).
