Asthma Update Training for Healthcare Professionals
Course Details:
Delivered in partnership with Clarion healthcare Education, this course refreshes key areas of asthma care, including diagnosis, A&P, history taking, objective testing, phenotype awareness, risk, exacerbations, medicines and non-pharmacological management.
Asthma remains a significant safety issue in the UK. Asthma + Lung UK reports that four people die every day because of asthma attacks, and that 2 out of 3 asthma deaths are preventable. Regular asthma update training helps clinicians recognise risk earlier, support safer reviews and strengthen patient education around treatment, follow-up and self-management
This session is designed to support clinicians who are involved in asthma reviews, respiratory assessment and long-term condition care. This course includes an overview of updated asthma guidelines and highlights key changes relevant to clinical practice. It also explores whole-person care, including mental health, obesity, co-existing conditions and differentials, with case study discussion around CYP, occupational asthma and adult-onset asthma.
