A celebration of Asthma Right Care

08 Feb 2022

In December 2021 the Asthma Right Care Delivery Team met to celebrate progress so far and look ahead to the projects and activities planned for 2022.

We remembered the videos produced about Asthma RIght Care and celebrated the Latin American Teacher the Teacher event, publications and abstracts and other key project milestones including the expansion of Asthma Right Care into 17 countries involving family doctors, GPs, pharmacists, nurses, emergency department doctors and patients.

We looked forward to Asthma Right Care at the IPCRG 11th World Conference in Málaga, with a stand and symposia planned. A new Asthma Right Care Implementation course has been developed for new countries and the first delvery starts in February 2022. We are also planning other workshops later in the year.
