Helping local patients breathe easier
Our Primary Care Network pharmacy team recently delivered a series of asthma education events followed by one to one appointments, helping local patients better understand and manage their asthma.
Across our 11 member GP practices, patients received:
💙 Interactive education sessions covering:
• Recognising the signs of poor asthma control
• Correct inhaler technique
• What to do during an asthma attack
• Practical advice for managing asthma day to day
💙 One to one appointments to ensure treatment was tailored and optimised for each individual.
The programme also provided valuable learning opportunities for 16 pharmacy students, who worked alongside our experienced team to gain hands-on clinical experience.
The results speak for themselves:
✅ 67 patients supported
✅ 88% improved their inhaler technique
✅ 41% switched to guideline-recommended therapy
✅ 38% switched to more environmentally friendly inhalers
⭐ Education events rated 9.5/10 on average by attendees
The feedback from patients was overwhelmingly positive, with many saying the sessions gave them knowledge and confidence they had never received before.
We are incredibly proud of what our pharmacy team has achieved and look forward to building on this success with more programmes that support the health and wellbeing of our local communities.
