As one of the most common long term medical conditions worldwide, asthma is a leading cause of morbidity, placing significant burden on patients, health services and wider society. Despite frequently being perceived as an acute condition, asthma attacks can be avoided with high standards of care and well supported self-management. 90% hospital admissions for acute asthma are avoidable and there are preventable factors in most asthma deaths. Increasingly recognised as an “umbrella term”, asthma is a complex disease whereby individualised management is essential to improve patient outcomes and prevent avoidable deaths. Recent advances in scientific and clinical understanding of asthma have shaped new paths in current thinking and approaches to care delivery across all healthcare settings and these will be explored in this course. Led by a tutor who is a health professional experienced in working with patients with asthma, this course moves beyond the basics of asthma focussing on developing knowledge and skills to enable translation of learning to the delivery of high-quality care in clinical practice.
