Ensuring patients follow the correct asthma treatment pathway is vital. People with asthma should have enough knowledge of their asthma to adjust their treatment based on symptoms. Using personalised asthma action plans and annual review processes will support them with this and ensure effective maintenance of their treatment. Part of the Supporting People with Asthma in the 21st Century project, this animation provides a concise guide to maintaining effective asthma treatment.  

Patients with asthma must received the most suitable treatment for them. This not only promotes better asthma control but also enhances quality of life. To achieve this we must educate, address the underlying inflammation, support healthy living, share decision making, document and communicate. Part of the Supporting People with Asthma in the 21st Century project, this animation provides a concise guide to ensuring optimal treatment for asthma patients. 

At the Primary Care Respiratory Society (PCRS), we believe in 'optimal'; respiratory health for all. Our aim is that, together, we can benefit every person with, or at risk of, lung disease.

The truth is avoiding 'triggers' can reduce symptoms and taking a blue inhaler, can help to provide short-term relief but they don’t address the underlying problem - inflammation.

The truth is people with asthma need to carry their blue inhaler for emergencies only. Daily preventers will keep symptoms at bay.

The truth is with the right treatment patients with asthma can lead a normal life.

"It’s only asthma...” Sound familiar? Many patients wrongly think asthma is not a serious disease.
