DESCRIPTION Copd Management Diploma  COPD stands for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It is an umbrella term for different lung conditions that result in breathing difficulties. The condition is common among middle-aged individuals or older who have the habit of smoking. Most patients do not even realise when they have the condition. The difficulties in breathing worsen as time passes, gradually limiting the person's ability to perform everyday activities. Some treatments can contribute to controlling these symptoms. Copd Management Diploma course will equip learners with the knowledge about diagnosis, symptoms, and treatments and understand them. The core of the course is a comprehensive explanation and instruction concerning COPD and the diseases the term covers, like pulmonary emphysema and bronchitis. The course explains what this medical condition is, what impact it can have on the body of the patient, what are the causes and how it is diagnosed, how to detect lung problems, and how to manage COPD by changing smoking habits, exercise, diet, and explains how to cope with the condition during cold seasons. The students will learn a significant amount about the diagnosis of the condition, its symptoms, and the available treatments. The Copd Management Diploma course offered by Elearncollege will give students an outline of the different diseases that come under the term. Common diseases are Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema. It will allow learners to gain knowledge and develop skills that will make them better caretakers of COPD patients in their communities and hospitals. A clear understanding of the concepts related to the disease, founded on essential techniques and skills, will be vital in COPD patient care. If studied successfully, the course will result in students who can demonstrate the knowledge and skills to diagnose, manage, and treat patients with COPD and who can provide care to these patients that adhere to the relevant clinical guidelines. They will have enough information to make suggestions, initiate treatments, and bring changes if the assessment of a patient shows that that is required. Copd Management Diploma course focuses on the reorganisation and description of COPD as a medical condition, its diagnosis, pharmacological and other kinds of interventions, action plans, inhaler techniques, care centred on the patient, and on the promotion of better results in the patients who are diagnosed with this medical condition.

IMPROVE EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING SKILLS IN CHILDREN WITH ADHD AIMS TO  Children and teens diagnosed with ADHD have challenges in their executive functioning. These may show up as problems following directions or remembering a sequence of activities. Children may have difficulty learning from past mistakes, staying focused for the duration of a task, or maintaining emotional control in stressful situations. They may struggle with the organization of personal items or to-do lists, with being flexible with unexpected changes, and with managing their time efficiently. These difficulties, in turn, manifest into problems at home, school, work, and with social skills. Executive functioning skills are the missing link between intentions and actions. In this presentation, we will identify executive functioning skills and discuss how ADHD and related neurodiversity diagnoses impact them. We will identify how to evaluate executive functioning and discuss intervention strategies and ways that we can increase support to improve the development of executive functions throughout childhood and adolescence and into early adulthood. The participant will learn three ways to empower individuals of all ages to strengthen executive functioning skills. This course is presented in lecture form with questionnaires and handouts developed by the instructor to assist the participant in working with children and families.  LEARNING OBJECTIVES At the end of this course, the participant will be able to: 1. Define Executive Functioning and identify executive skills 2. List ways in which executive skills are impacted by ADHD and related diagnoses 3. Identify how to evaluate executive functioning skills 4. Discuss each skill in detail and identify intervention strategies to enhance development of executive skills 5. Differentiate common issues related to executive functioning skills across childhood and adolescence 6.
