This webinar aims to provide healthcare professionals with essential insights and practical strategies for optimising medication regimens for patients with asthma on biologic therapy, with a specific focus on reducing the steroid burden. Biologic therapies have revolutionised the management of asthma, but their combination with steroids can pose challenges and risks to patients.

This webinar focuses on using the GINA approach to managing asthma and how this can support delivery of best practice asthma care*. PCRS executive chair, Katherine Hickman, is joined by expert speakers Michael Crooks, Nicola Standring-Brown and Benedict Greenwood to discuss this important topic.  

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.
