Briefing asthma guidelines

This briefing was prepared initially for the benefit of our members, who are healthcare professionals working primarily in primary and community care with an interest in respiratory disease. It was intended to outline the similarities and differences between asthma guidelines from different sources and to advise, from a primary care perspective, on how to proceed where there were discrepancies between guidelines.

 It was finalised after extensive review and comment by clinical members of our Executive committee, and other core committees.
