Asthma Right Care update - summer 2023
Asthma Right Care Strategy meeting update
The eight person-centred statements that represent the IPCRG strategy were presented by Jaime, Marina Pardo and Catalina Panaitescu at a WONCA Europe workshop together with an introduction to IPCRG and also the COPD Right Care statements. They were well received with very positive feedback. Therefore, the next development is to extend the framework to include "know - know how to - do" for each statement by defining the required competences and how they would be achieved.
The learning from the Asthma Right Care Teach the Teacher in North Macedonia was also reviewed. Key learning points included how best to customise for the local context.
