Are you a doctor, nurse, pharmacist or asthma educator?

We know that health care providers and educators are crucial in supporting people experiencing breathing issues, but we’re not sure what your information needs are in relation to the role of pollen and fungi on health.

We are looking for health professionals like you to participate in our Healthy Air Healthy Lives Study to help us understand your perspectives, current knowledge (and gaps) and future knowledge needs on the role of pollen and fungi on health, especially on susceptible people.

The Healthy Air Healthy Lives Study is being led by University of Melbourne researchers to develop communication materials to enable health care providers to identify people who are at higher risk of pollen and fungi-related breathing problems and be able to provide timely and well-informed preventive advice and care.

We are asking you to contribute to:

1. a 1-hour focus group discussion with other health care providers, either in-person or online, to share your perspectives; and/or
2. a 2-hour follow-up discussion 3-4 months later to provide your feedback on the development of health information.

You can choose to participate in one or both sessions.

All participants will receive a reimbursement for their time and a certificate of participation, which can be used towards Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements.

To register your interest in this study and find out more, please contact Dr Sabrina Idrose or Dr Rachel Tham (healthy-airstudy@unimelb.edu.au) or phone (03) 9035 6074.
