What does inequality have to do with asthma? Everything.
This session will focus on the impact of inequalities on children and families living with asthma. We will focus on the bigger picture - how we are still fighting a battle against inequality, how poverty is pervasive and the nitty gritty of how the nuances impact asthma specifically.
This interactive session will then move on to focus on what we can do as health and social care professionals in our own daily practice to help turn the tide on this stark issue.
In November 2024 new guidance joint for the diagnosis and management of asthma in adults and children was released from British Thoracic Society (BTS), National Institute for health and Care Excellence (NICE) and Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN).
