PCRS ARC Webinar: Asthma Right Care 'Question Time'
About This Webinar
PCRS invite you join our Asthma Right Care ‘Question Time’ webinar with our panel of thought leaders and clinical experts from across primary, community and integrated care.
In 2016/17 there were over 77,000 hospital admissions due to asthma and every 10 seconds someone is having a potentially life-threatening asthma attack. On average three people die from an asthma attack every day.[1] Yet according to the 2019 National Review of Asthma Deaths (NRAD) 2 in every 3 asthma deaths could be prevented by more effective care[2]. Studies also show that patient perceptions can be key barrier to effective control - for example some patients do not take their asthma seriously, some view coughing and wheeziness as part of living with asthma[3],[4]. Others fail to take medication when symptoms are absent and some believe that good control is achieved simply by treating symptoms and avoiding deterioration[5]. How can we as clinicians help to counter some of these misconceptions. How can we more effectively, help patients to control their condition, what conversations should we be having with our patients, what treatments and regimes can we promote and how can we encourage a change of approach to asthma management?
We will be taking questions in advance via social media or please email your questions to info@pcrs-uk.org. We will also be taking questions from the audience on the day, but the earlier you get your question in, the better!
PCRS is grateful to Trudell Medical UK Limited for their support of the Asthma Right Care programme in 2022.
