FeNO patient leaflet (multi-language)

As with any test or procedure it is really important that your patient has a full understanding of what to expect from their FeNO test appointment, along with an explanation of the test process.

This may include an understanding of the benefits of having a FeNO test, including:

  •       More accurate diagnosis of asthma
  •       Non-invasive, simple and safe test
  •       Improved patient experience
  •       Patients are less likely to be referred onto secondary care for additional testing
  •       Opportunity for increased understanding of condition as patients can relate to their own FeNO score.

It is helpful for patients to have time to digest information describing a test or procedure. Wessex AHSN have created a FeNO patient leaflet to help patients understand their test.

They have also translated the patient leaflet into seven different languages and audio versions which are available in the following languages:

  • Polish
  • Panjabi
  • Urdu
  • Bengali
  • Gujarati
  • Arabic
  • Somali

To support the applied use of these leaflets, Wessex AHSN have mapped where these 7 languages are spoken in England and Wales.

The AHSN Network supported the spread of FeNO testing across primary care in England from April 2021 to March 2023, led by Wessex AHSN as the lead AHSN. This programme was delivered as part of the NHS England Accelerated Access Collaborative Rapid Uptake Programme. The resources created as part of that programme have been shared with the PCRS to host as a legacy of the programme. We’d like to express our thanks to Wessex AHSN for sharing these resources with us.
