It’s Ask About Asthma week so please disseminate the following ahead of next week’s annual surge in attacks. 

Posters for display

Please find attached two posters at the bottom of the page .

1 is a QR code to the pan-NE London booklet in multiple languages for clinical rooms

Asthma (Children and young people) – elearning for healthcare (e-lfh.org.uk) – This is monitored at national level, we are being monitored as an ICB in our uptake which has granular data down to practice identifier. We know CQC are actively looking at this. 

We are promoting whole practice tier training to level 1 or 2 as per the link above. Tier 1 is for non-clinical and Tier 2 clinical teams – as a minumum, 

We strongly suggest that those leading on asthma or undertaking reviews regularly undertake Tier 3.
