Quotes
"As the Borough Medical Director for Brent, I have witnessed first-hand how the new [BTS, NICE and SIGN] guidelines on asthma diagnosis and management have driven transformative change in our local healthcare services. By using these guidelines, we have developed targeted Locally Enhanced Services that improve diagnostic accuracy, optimise treatment and adherence, and foster a collaborative, community-driven approach to asthma care. This case study demonstrates how national guidance can be translated into local action to reduce health inequalities, enhance patient outcomes, and help prevent avoidable deaths from asthma."
Dr Rammya Mathew, Brent Borough Medical Director, NWL integrated care system.
