‘Improving outcomes for patients with severe asthma’ is the topic of the latest European Respiratory Society (ERS) Interactive Education episode, now freely available on the ERS Respiratory Channel.
This episode aims to equip healthcare professionals with the essential knowledge and strategies to significantly impact the care and quality of life for patients with severe asthma.
Severe asthma is a complex condition that requires a comprehensive, personalised approach to management. In this module, we will explore key topics, including understanding the pathophysiology and classification of severe asthma, developing tailored treatment plans with the latest therapies, monitoring and managing exacerbations, enhancing patient education for better self-management, and leveraging multidisciplinary teamwork to improve patient outcomes.
Alexandra Nanzer MD, Brian Kent MD, and Vanessa McDonald MD are the experts that will lead this video episode, and help participants understand how to:
- Differentiate between poorly controlled asthma vs severe asthma.
- Recognise and manage comorbidities and exacerbations in severe asthma.
- Incorporate multidisciplinary care approaches to optimise patient outcomes.
- Use and select advanced therapies in severe asthma including biologics.
- Enhance patient education and self-management skills.
