NHS England and Improvement have been working with key stakeholders, including young people and their families, to develop a National Bundle of Care for Children and Young People with Asthma to support local systems with the management of asthma care. The programme sets out the blueprint of evidence-based interventions to help children, young people, families, and carers, to control and reduce the risk of asthma attacks and to prevent avoidable harm.
A key element of ensuring children and young people with asthma receive high standards of asthma care is relevant training for professionals. The training tiers are not profession specific, but rather describe the minimum knowledge and skills an individual must possess to carry out their role in caring for a child or young person with asthma. Individuals should look at their own role and choose the tier most appropriate to the care they deliver.
Training can be accessed via the E Learning for heath platform. https://www.e-lfh.org.uk/programmes/children-and-young-peoples-asthma
Viv Marsh from the ICB Children and Young People Asthma Team will also be delivering a virtual Paediatric Asthma Update session on 19th July https://www.pointsix.co.uk/paediatric-asthma-update
