Breaths 5.5 ICS Therapy Appropriateness in COPD

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.

By the end of this session, you will be able to identify which patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are likely to benefit from inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), recognise those for whom ICS is unlikely to help or may cause harm, and plan safe withdrawal when appropriate.
