Are you concerned that you or your child may be using your inhaler incorrectly? I am MORE concerned about @asthmauk using a @MailOnline article which shows shockingly poor inhaler technique and no spacer for a child. #ShameOnYou @PCRSUK @UKCPAResp @UKInhalerGroup @ginasthma

Inspiring us to tackle asthma management. Why do we have a high degree of comfort with high SABA use?

NICE uses image of poor inhaler technique advertising new guidance. Furthermore the new guidance ignores the chronic nature of asthma (no post attack reviews); continues to recommend unvalidated RCP3 Qs; and fails to state training required by reviewers. #NICE-notfitforpurpose.

BMA - A neglected killer #asthma - Peter Blackburn has written an excellent challenging article on preventable asthma deaths. Please share this with all GP commissioners. It’s time for decisive action as NICE has lost the plot regarding asthma! bma.org.uk/news/2019/april/a…

Anyone involved in the assessment and treatment of #asthma should read the new GINA guideline - now. Goodbye to the blue inhaler?

Form Filling Is Not Doing Clinical Care Nurses and Doctors Filling Forms are Not Treating Patients An Expert Nurse can Risk Assess a Patient in 1 minute then spend 60 minutes Form Filling To Record her Judgements The Value Of a Form is Inversely Related to its Length
