The recent NCMD report (https://t.co/5TIfrhAw8u) is one of 25 UK reports on #asthma #deaths In the last 60 years. Most asthma attacks can be prevented and all it takes is a few modifications to the management of #attacks  https://t.co/GJVVAGCWA6

Sadly the NCMD report today, on child asthma & anaphylaxis deaths in England identified modifiable risk factors repeatedly published in UK reports in the last 60 years. It’s time for urgent National UK action to prevent asthma attacks and deaths. https://t.co/M4guou1v9e

Please share this recommendation from GINA on confirming a diagnosis of asthma. @PCRSUK @rcgp @RespNprang @IPCRG

[Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) @ginasthma]

Confirming asthma diagnosis once inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are started can be difficult. If asthma is well-controlled, stepping down ICS may help. After assessment, reduce dose and book review – see highlighted section Box 1-5. Full explanation at https://t.co/Cm9ADXmsOb
