Learning to control asthma or manage Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD) can make a huge difference to you and your family’s quality of life and reduce the risk of severe attacks and hospital admissions. Our Respiratory Nurse Educators provide free consultations either at our offices, or in your home, to help you take control and breathe easier. The goal of these consultations is to understand the current state of your, or your family member’s condition, as well as assessing lifestyle, environment and medication factors that may be affecting it. From there, we build you a management plan and provide education and advice to support you in your journey. Your self-management plan will help you to recognise when your breathing is getting worse and what to do for it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f7753aefa27be2ddf1b0/e1e628a0-8665-41b9-ba27-de04e8ec86d6/Spirometry-test.jpg Services for Individuals and Whānau - Breathing Tests Breathing tests check how well your lungs are working and identify normal and abnormal lung activity. This helps with diagnosis, monitoring progress of respiratory conditions and assists to support better management of your lungs. We provide these free of charge. The test is called Spirometry and it can measure many different things about how you breathe and the function of your lungs. If you are on medication, we will ask that you do not take this for several hours prior to your test so that we can get an accurate function reading. A doctor must refer you for this test. However, if you would like more information discuss with your doctor or contact us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f7753aefa27be2ddf1b0/1769718940047-K8CKIMQNDFRMXN12A0ZM/unsplash-image-mHWmTL_EtLQ.jpg Services for Individuals and Whānau - Sleep Assessments A community sleep assessment provides an initial screening assessment for patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). If you have sleep apnoea you have many periods when your breathing stops for 10 seconds or more when you sleep. You wake up briefly after each episode of stopped breathing to start breathing again. A doctor must refer you for this test. However, if you would like more information discuss with your doctor or contact us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f7753aefa27be2ddf1b0/0d286752-35b7-4532-ab74-2abc2e4456fa/asthma-under-control-icon-2.png Services for Individuals and Whānau https://www.canbreathe.org.nz/services-for-groups-and-health-professionals daily 0.75 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f7753aefa27be2ddf1b0/d9c67792-f4d7-4392-b882-55ee663ff0ca/SIRF+Logo_Final.png Services for Groups and Health Professionals. - South Island Respiratory Forum 2026 Join professional colleagues to increase your skills working with people with respiratory conditions at the South Island Respiratory Forum.

This helps the medication to more easily reach your lungs. Nebulisers are used to help treat conditions that affect the airways and lungs such as bronchiectasis, COPD and cystic fibrosis. Some people with more severe chronic respiratory conditions may be prescribed nebulised medication in the short-term following an exacerbation. They may also require a nebuliser at home from time to time for symptoms that are more difficult to control as part of their individual management plan. Before hiring or purchasing a nebuliser, discuss with your doctor first to ensure a nebuliser would be of benefit. CanBreathe does not sell or hire nebulisers without your doctor's approval. To access a nebuliser from CanBreathe you will need a referral letter from your doctor stating that he or she feels that you require this device. If the use of a nebuliser is recommended for a short period of time, then you may want to consider hiring a nebuliser. If the use of a nebuliser is recommended long-term, on an ongoing basis, then you may want to buy a nebuliser. Hiring a Nebuliser We have a range of nebulisers available for hire. You will be requested to sign a hire agreement. You will also need to purchase a 'giving set'. A giving set is the tubing, mask and nebuliser bowl used for administering inhalants through the nebuliser. Nebuliser hire is $5 per week for CanBreathe members and $10 per week for non-members. A standard giving set costs approximately $10.00 for members and $12.00 for non-members. Purchasing a Nebuliser, filters or Consumables We also have a range of nebulisers, filters and giving sets available for purchase. Our Nurse Educators can assist to determine which model would best suit your individual requirements. Costs vary between nebuliser models and their giving sets and filters should be replaced every six to 12 months, depending on how often the machine is being used. CanBreathe does not service nebulisers. Whether you are hiring or purchasing a nebuliser, you will need to make an appointment with us. During this appointment you will receive a demonstration of how to use the nebuliser and the giving set. You will also be provided with written resources. Please note that payments need to be made by cash, bank deposit or cheque as we do not have eftpos or card facilities. Pari-o-pep This device helps to loosen bronchial mucous and clear the airways in conjunction with your daily mucous clearance exercises. Talk to your doctor or physiotherapist to see if this device is appropriate for your respiratory condition and management. https://www.canbreathe.org.nz/useful-links daily 0.75 2022-12-02 https://www.canbreathe.org.nz/improving-lung-health daily 0.75 2022-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f7753aefa27be2ddf1b0/01b821d1-e58d-4afd-a236-441cebb31ca4/SMOKEFREE_Black_logo.png Improving Lung Health -
