Education

Education is at the heart of improving cardiac and respiratory health.

By giving people the knowledge, skills and confidence to prevent, recognise and manage heart and lung conditions, we help create healthier individuals, stronger communities and better health outcomes across Aotearoa.

Our education programmes support a wide range of audiences, from health professionals seeking the latest evidence-based clinical knowledge, to teachers, schools, community leaders, whānau and young people. Through nationally-recognised training, practical resources, digital learning, classroom programmes and public education initiatives, we make trusted information accessible to those who need it most.

For health professionals, our education supports lifelong learning and best practice through accredited courses, clinical guidance and professional development opportunities.

For schools and communities, we provide practical tools and engaging programmes that build confidence in responding to asthma emergencies, reduce the harms of vaping, and promote healthier environments for tamariki and rangatahi.

Every programme we develop is grounded in evidence and shaped by experts.

By translating research into practical education, we empower people to make informed decisions, strengthen healthcare delivery and improve heart and lung health outcomes for New Zealanders.
