Breathe Hawkes Bay

Programmes offered

Respiratory Consultations

Our respiratory nurses will work with you to get an understanding of the current state of your condition while assessing medication and lifestyle factors that may be impacting your condition. Whānau/family are welcome to attend consultations. This ensures that everyone is educated when it comes to understanding and supporting whoever has the respiratory condition.

Lung function test

In some cases the respiratory nurses may carry out spirometry. This lung-function test helps identify normal and abnormal lung activity and assists with diagnosis, monitoring progress and providing information that can lead to better management of respiratory conditions.

COPD Breathe Easy Support Group

Breathe Hawke’s Bay facilitates support groups held the last Wednesday of every month (except January) alternating between Hastings and Napier. These informal get-togethers are for those with COPD, or any respiratory condition, and their carers. Each meeting features a guest speaker.

Swimming/Exercise Subsidies

A healthy, active lifestyle can help manage a respiratory condition. Our swimming and exercise subsidies are available to Hawke’s Bay children/tamariki across a range of physical activities. There are also subsidies available for adults. Conditions apply

Spacers

Did you know you can request a spacer free of charge from your GP? Breathe Hawke’s Bay also has a limited supply of spacers available.
