Severe asthma: recognising and referring patients in the biologic treatment era

We are delighted to be hosting multiple educational webinars on severe asthma developed by the South West Severe Asthma Network, supported by West of England and South West AHSNs.

In this webinar we will cover diagnosing asthma, the impact of uncontrolled asthma, how to identify patients with uncontrolled asthma and why and where to refer.

People living with severe asthma face many challenges; they may have a lowered quality of life, have an increased risk of mortality and are at a greater risk of avoidable comorbidities. Their symptoms may also go undiagnosed for many years. Diagnosis and treatment can transform patient lives by reducing asthma attacks, asthma-related hospital admissions and long-term side-effects of other treatments.

This webinar will be repeated several times throughout July and September and will be delivered by partners across the South West region.

Please note, all webinars present the same information and you do not need to attend more than one.
