Asthma: updates to diagnosis and treatment

Asthma NICE Guidance Update

Over the last few years, the British Thoracic Society (BTS) and the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) had differing guidelines on the diagnosis and management of asthma from the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Fortunately, the three organisations have come together and have released a collaborative, updated guide on the topic. In this module we will focus on the most important changes for all members of the primary care team. This course falls within the Respiratory health curriculum field.
