Breaths
New IPCRG project: Breaths
Free, bite-sized, and practical: designed for busy primary care professionals.
Breaths is a new IPCRG initiative designed to enhance primary care providers' capability, confidence, and motivation in delivering high-quality respiratory care. It leverages structured microlearning strategies tailored to the time constraints of primary healthcare professionals.
Breaths objectives
- improve primary care capability in diagnosing and managing respiratory conditions
- enhance confidence in providing evidence-based respiratory care
- increase motivation by making learning accessible, engaging, and directly applicable to clinical practice
- ensure scalability and sustainability through technology-driven microlearning modules
Pilot edition: Breaths - asthma essentials
Each Breath (mini-course) is around five minutes, highly practical, and designed specifically for busy primary care professionals. Our goal is to support clinical decision-making and strengthen patient care, one confident step at a time.
The first three Breaths:
- Diagnosing Asthma – strengthen clinical reasoning using spirometry and peak flow.
- Inhaler Technique – spot common patient errors and learn how to correct them effectively.
- Proactive asthma control – Increase confidence in assessing asthma control.
In this pilot phase, user feedback is crucial. At the end of each mini-course, participants will be asked a very short question to help refine and shape future content.
You can access the first three Breaths here. As pilot versions, these Breaths are currently being updated following user feedback.
