Please share this recommendation from GINA for diagnosing asthma. @PCRSUK @asthmalunguk @AsthmaAustralia @AsthmaCanada @RespNprang @RCPCHtweets @RCPhysicians @rcgp @BTSrespiratory
Confirming asthma diagnosis once inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are started can be difficult. If asthma is well-controlled, stepping down ICS may help with diagnosis. Start with assessment – see highlighted section GINA 2024 Box 1-5. Full explanation at ginasthma.org/reports
The key points about vaping (E-cigarettes) can be easily summarised. If you smoke, vaping is much safer; if you don’t smoke, don’t vape; marketing vapes to children is utterly unacceptable. I expand on these points in the article below. gov.uk/government/new…

Today, the government announced in the #KingsSpeech that they will bring back the Tobacco and Vapes Bill. This means that children born today will never be able to buy tobacco, protecting thousands of families from the pain of losing their loved one to a lung condition.

Wow!!! The mis information given by bbc morning live is just awful! And potentially life threatening!
Asthma needs to be taken seriously. Inhaled steroids are an evidence based effective part of treatment. See the @UKCPARespiratory response to the inaccurate info on @morninglive buff.ly/3T00Dew @RavijyotSaggu @UKCPARespiratory

Enjoying day 2 of the @AstraZeneca severe asthma meeting in London. Already have so many ideas to take back to the north east!!
Nursing pay has consistently fallen behind other professions. As governments in Scotland and Wales look to address this issue, why does PM @RishiSunak continue to ignore nursing staff in England? #FairPayForNursing

Nursing, and patient safety have been overlooked for too long as governments have failed to address staff shortages. Our members have now voted to strike in trusts across the UK. Show your support by telling @RishiSunak we need #FairPayForNursing today. bit.ly/3ylaq4h
Today I have written to our Prime Minster @RishiSunak @10DowningStreet urging him to facilitate urgent & meaningful negotiations between @SteveBarclay & @theRCN @patcullen9 There may be a small window of opportunity to avert industrial action, it must be taken.

This made me chuckle, only because it’s true 🤣🤣
Mate getting the NHS PCs to startup and let you login in less than two minutes would be a start. What are you smoking @RishiSunak?
