Course information
Asthma continues to be the most common long-term medical condition and has a significant impact on the lives of children, young people and their families. In recent years, the breadth and depth of evidence around asthma management have expanded rapidly, and updated national guidelines have followed as a result. However, as guidelines are not always easy to implement, gaps in care that increase clinical risk are created. The role of up-to-date healthcare professionals in bridging these gaps is pivotal in advocating for and delivering high-quality asthma care.
The focus of this course is to provide an update on clinical management and current issues in asthma for healthcare professionals already delivering asthma care to children.
Course content
Using a variety of educational methods to engage learners, the following topics will be explored:
- Health Inequalities in asthma
- Early and accurate diagnosis
- Issues in gaining and maintaining asthma control across the range of patients
- Evidence-based and real-world approaches to managing asthma attacks, preventing future attacks and avoiding asthma deaths
- Personalising management options to meet the needs of individual children, young people and families
- Working in partnership with children, young people and families to support self-management
On completion of this course, it is expected that learners will be able to:
- Discuss the current issues impacting asthma outcomes for children, young people and families
- Evaluate the adoption of guideline recommendations into diagnosis pathways
- Analyse recent changes to recommendations for asthma management and consider how these can be implemented for CYP
