Asthma Secondary Care

Who is the Asthma Service for?​

This service is being clinically designed and developed in support of Asthma  patients,  specifically aimed for:​

  • Patients with a primary diagnosis of asthma​
  • Patients with increased  use of healthcare in past 12 months​
  • Patients  who have experienced one or more exacerbation of their asthma in the past  12 months, or have been identified  at risk of exacerbation​ and/or​
  • Have had one or more hospital admission in the past 12 months related to asthma

How will it work?

  1. The service requires patients to submit a combination of  peak flow readings, basic symptom survey and completion of a validated patient-reported outcome measure (ACT )​
  2. It has been clinically designed whereby dependant on the patients answers they will be advised to contact either 111 or 999 with appropriate advice and guidance  

Objectives & Outcomes​

  • Early identification of severe asthma patients and timely clinical review for those in most need, based on alerts created by defined objective measures​
  • Patients treated with biologic  therapies – demonstrate effectiveness / capture improvement and titrate based on  objective measures​
  • Improved care for those at most risk of exacerbation / A&E attendances by promoting self-management strategies and adherence to  asthma action plan
