Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by Bordetella pertussis.

Point of care testing (POCT) capability is becoming increasingly available in general practice. POCT enables rapid clinical decision-making, an increased likelihood of keeping people well and closer to home (by avoiding referral to hospital) and addresses rural inequities which may be compounded by distance and infrastructure. Pinnacle has developed guidance for quality control of POCT in general practice and a POCT adverse events monitoring system.
