Teach the Teacher Tier 2 workshop: Vietnam

In July, we ran a Tier 2 Teach the Teacher event in Hanoi, Vietnam, attended in-person by 55 delegates from across Vietnam, following the successful Tier 1 event in Taipei in 2024. The teaching faculty included IPCRG colleagues Amanda Barnard, Ee Ming Khoo, Jaime Correia de Sousa, Darush Attar-Zadeh and Vince Mak, who were joined by Vietnamese colleagues and Tier 1 alumni Pham Le An, Nguyen Chu Vinh, Huynh Trung Son, and additional faculty members Ngo Guy Chau and Phan Thu Phuong.

The event was comprised of short teaching lectures with significant time for group work to produce a teaching module, with feedback from the faculty throughout. The objectives of the event were to design a teaching programme on asthma tailored to the needs of the participants, promoting shared decision-making and supporting behaviour change in patients.

Participant feedback has been positive:

• 100% of respondants rated the programme either 'good' or 'very good'
• 100% indicated the information and materials in the programme were relevant to their clinical practice
• 95% agreed the programme has made them feel more motivated and confident in imparting knowledge about effective asthma management
• 77.3% praised the faculty's teaching skills as 'very good' with a further 22.7% rating them 'good'

AstraZeneca funded and supported the event, but did not have input into the programme.
