My name is Fernando Florido and I am a GP in the United Kingdom. With today’s episode I am going to start a new series on asthma, focusing on the NICE guidelines on the diagnosis and management asthma. Firstly, I am going to go through the diagnosis flow charts and I am going to do them over 3 different episodes. In the first one I will go through the initial clinical assessment for all patients, in the second, I will go through the objective tests for children and young people and in the third one I will consider the diagnostic tests for adults. There will be other videos on the pharmacological treatment of asthma so make sure you subscribe and stay tuned.
There is YouTube version of the podcast and other guidance that you can access here:
