Asthma SpotlightPreventable child deathsTragically after 60 years preventable asthma deaths continue in childhood in the UK. The shocking revelation in this interview with Sylvia Stoianova that one child dies every month in England due to asthma is highlighted in the recent report on child deaths due to asthma and anaphylaxis. (NCMD.info/asthma) Despite previous attendances for acute asthma (65%) and anaphylaxis (47%) in the year before they died, health care professionals failed to take appropriate action to prevent these deaths. After 60 years and more than 25 UK studies and reports on preventable deaths -It is time for asthma and anaphylaxis to be taken seriously in...

Asthma SpotlightAsthma care in CanadaCanada has amoungst the lowest numbers of asthma deaths in the world. In this interview with Dr Alan Kaplan a Canadian General Practitioner with a special interest in asthma we explore differences in care provided in Canada with that in the United Kingdom. Key differences include that unlike in the UK asthma care in Canada is not delegated to individuals without training in asthma, and that asthma is regarded as a serious condition, where in the UK its mainly treated as if its an acute rather than a chronic underlying disease. Dr Kaplan is a member of the International...

Asthma SpotlightEnd asthma attacks- 2025Lets end asthma attacks and deaths in 2025! The recent NCMD report (bit.ly/49Pg1BD) found that on average one child dies from asthma every month in England. This is one of 25 reports, papers, confidential enquiries published in the UK in the last 60 years. That these potentially preventable deaths continue in the UK is unacceptable. In this podcast Ive made some suggested changes that clinicians could adopt as a new years resolution to put an end to preventable asthma attacks and deaths – most can be prevented and all it takes is a few modifications to the way attacks are ma...
2024-12-3023 minAsthma SpotlightNCMD Child Death report: Asthma and AnaphylaxisThe National Child mortality database (the NCMD) published a report on deaths in children due to asthma and anaphylaxis in England, between 2019 and 2023. Most of the children who died from asthma had past evidence of well known modifiable risk factors for poor outcomes. Had these factors been identified and acted upon, many of these deaths could possibly have been prevented. This is the 26th publication in the UK that I’m aware of on preventable deaths due to asthma. Asthma is the commonest non-communicable disease affecting about 15% of children. This report from the National Child Mortality Database is clearly a...
2024-12-1215 minAsthma Spotlight2024 UK Asthma GuidelineAfter 5 years, a new UK asthma guideline was published in November 2025. The document is fairly long and has multiple links to other documents which may or may not be read by general practitioners or generalist paediatricians and physicians. So in this podcast I’ve discussed four key messages from the document which in my view could improve asthma care right away.

2024-09-2233 minAsthma SpotlightAIR Therapy - more detailMany health care professionals who prescribe asthma treatment are not aware of Anti-Inflammatory Reliever (AIR) Therapy. This podcast clarifies this and will hopefully be a ‘light-bulb’ moment for doctors and nurses who prescribe for people with asthma. It will also be helpful for those non-medically trained people delegated to provide assistance and education to understand this treatment for people with asthma, as well of course people with asthma can benefit from this podcast. The two types of AIR Therapy are summarised - they are MART (MAintenance and Reliever Therapy, and As Needed AIR Therapy for so called mild asthma. See...
2024-08-1417 minAsthma SpotlightWheeze is not a diagnosisOne of the biggest risks for people with asthma is in those whose asthma is not yet diagnosed. People are often being treated for symptoms, like cough or wheezing without a medical diagnosis. So despite having repeated episodes of respiratory symptoms, these episodes are simply treated as one off acute events with cough mixtures, or antibiotics or inhaler medication. As I’ve said in previous podcasts, asthma is a chronic ongoing disease requiring ongoing treatment to prevent attacks, and is NOT an acute one off disease and in this podcast I’ll share my thoughts and reasons why I think...

2024-04-2916 minAsthma SpotlightAsthma Attack - Near MissAsthma attacks and asthma deaths are mostly preventable with good care. There is often a lot of publicity, about people who die from asthma. However, not much about people with asthma who have 'near misses'. i.e. life threatening attacks where the management is below expected. thisa happened recently to a young girl, who I had looked after 5 years ago in a general practice. Mom contacted me andt she and her husband agreed for me to share the story about their child who had a near miss asthma attack in 2024 - just about 10 years after we published the National...
2024-04-2423 minAsthma SpotlightSevere AsthmaSevere asthma causes misery for many people, it is underdiagnosed and yet it contributes significantly to poor outcomes due to asthma and is very costly for health care providers. About 3-5% of people with asthma have severe asthma and if suspected or confirmed should be cared for by asthma specialists. In this interview with DR Hitasha Rupani, you will understand a lot about this type of asthma irrewspective if you are a sufferer or a health care professional.

2024-04-1120 minAsthma SpotlightAsthma Therapy 2024Many colleagues have asked for an explanation on Maintenance and Reliever Therapy (MART) for asthma. Ther is a considerable body of exidence supporting the use of Anti-inflammatory Reliever (AIR) therapy for asthma which is more effective and safer than the use of separate inhalers prescribed for relief and prevention opf asthma. There are two forms of AIR therapy authorised by regulators and these are MART for those with moderate to severe asthma and also 'as needed AIR instea=d of Short-acting bronchodilators (SABAs) for relief of symptoms in people wiyh mild asthma.

2024-03-3119 minAsthma SpotlightAsthma 2024- Timing Asthma ReviewsThefre is no point in doing an asthma review when someone is 100% fit ands well. Asthma is a chronic disease prone to flare ups or attacks which could be life threatening. Its characterised by intermittent symptoms or attacks with other periods when the disease is very well controlled and the person has no symptoms. So performing an assessment may be unhelpful if the person is well on that day. So in this episode, Ive concentrated on when to best make use of a health professionals time and skills in deciding whether any of the care needs optimising. Ive also...
2024-03-1615 minAsthma SpotlightAsthma 2024-Grave risk for UK patients and doctorsAsthma management in primary care in the UK has reached a stage where patients and doctors are at grave risk. The problem being that a large proportion of asthma care is being delegated inappropriately to individuals (Physician and nurse associates, health care assistants, untrained nurses and pharmacists for eg) who may not be adequately trained for the roles they are being asked to perform. As a result of political pressure to generate data to give appearances that patients are accessing care (through directing them to pharmacies, care hubs, and individuals within primary care), without adequate training or supervision. Also...
2024-03-0917 minAsthma SpotlightPreventing Asthma Attacks - 5The tragic death of another child due to asthma is the last straw for me. Most asthma attacks and deaths are potentially preventable. These preventable deaths in children particularly must stop. So Ive developed a 7-step plan to help general practices identify and review all those who have an asthma attack in a regular practice meeting - at least monthly. The key being to identify and fix modifiable risk factors for the patient after the attack, and to create systems to prevent attacks in others. see; bit.ly/3vxpxJt for details on the suggested system. This and the most...
2024-03-0217 minAsthma SpotlightPreventing Asthma Attacks - 4Continuing the current series on identifying modifiable risk factors that may have contributed to or caused an asthma attack, this podcast is about some of the conditions that may co-exist in addition to asthma. Once identified, they can be dealt with appropriately to try and improve asthma control and prevent future attacks. Please do listen to the episode on a recent inquest that concluded that a 10 year old boy's death due to asthma could have been prevented. (https://shows.acast.com/634ea305797059001268b976/6586cddc3f6ace00163958d6) and my 7-Step Plan to end asthma attacks in primary care (https...

This is the third episode on practical ways that health care professionals can identify and deal with potentially preventable factors that cause asthma attacks - in this case Ive focussed on inhaler technique - the key message being that if someone cannot use their inhaler properly - the drug will not be able to reach the place in the lungs where it works. This episode will help in implementing my 7-Step Plan to eradicate asthma attacks, which will benefit patients through reduced preventable attacks and deaths...
2024-02-1613 minAsthma SpotlightPreventing asthma attacks-2This is the second episode aimed primarily for general practitioners and emphasises the rationale and need for all those diagnosed with asthma to be prescribed inhaled corticosteroids either as needed depending on the local licence, or regularly. In many asthma attacks and deaths, people have either not been prescribed or are not collecting sufficient inhaled corticosteroid preventer medication. The three ways these inhaled corticosteroid inhalers can be prescribed are described in the podcast and some ways that general practices v=can identify those who are taking insufficient are detailed in the podcast. Please listen to episode 50 for some backgroung...
2024-02-0813 minAsthma SpotlightPreventing Asthma Attacks - 1This is the first in a series of discussions to help primary care eradicate asthma attacks and preventable asthma deaths. Following the recent inquest report on a potentially preventable death due to asthma in a 10 year old boy, I am continuing with my attempt to encourage general practices to accept that this is the last straw. Too many potentially preventable asthma deaths continue to be reported in the UK and GPs have the ability to end this appalling, tragic situation.

2024-02-0118 minAsthma Spotlight2024 – a new approach for asthmaAn asthma attack is a significant event because it is preventable and can cause harm, even death. So Generakl practitioners should see evry asthma attack in patients as a signal that treatment has failed and make every effiort to identify potentially modifiable risk factors (like excess SABA, insufficient preventer, poor adherence, poor inhaler technique and take action to fix the problem. A simple 7-step plan provides a practical method to end asthma attacks in patients. Please see https://bigcatdoc.com/2024/01/10/2024-identify-that-an-asthma-attack-is-a-red-flag/ for an explanation and for an example template form for reviewing people who have had attacks.
2024-01-2413 minAsthma SpotlightA 2024 plan to end asthma attacksAsthma attacks and preventable deaths can be reduced by recognising and dealing with modifiable risk factors. Common risk factors for asthma attacks include: excess prescriptions and use of reliever inhalers; insufficient or no prescription of inhaled corticosteroid preventer inhalers; poor inhaler technique; exposure to triggers like non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; smoking (including vaping). I have suggested a 7-step plan to reduce preventable asthma attacks and deaths.

2024-01-1112 minAsthma SpotlightAsthma - A Tragic Death of a childAsthma deaths in children are tragic and in most cases potentially avoidable. This podcast was prompted by the recent coroners report and regulation 28 statement aimed at preventing future deaths, available at - https://bit.ly/3tDVr6h . All doctors and nurses, pharmacists, health care assistants and managers responsible for caring for children - all children - because asthma is the commonest chronic childhood illness should listen to this story and share it with colleagues. Parents and people with asthma will also find this information useful. There is an urgent need to end complacency about asthma care particularly in the...
2023-12-2324 minAsthma SpotlightAsthma Plans- What Health Professionals should Know in 2024Asthma is a chronic ongoing disease. Sadly it is often treated by health care professionals as if its an acute condition - ie attacks are treated without any investigation of cause and without follow up to address modifiable risk factors. In this episode I have emphasised the use of agreeing personal self management plans for attacks to also educate people on identifying poor control. Please do email me with any queries and share this with front line health care professionals in primary care and ED/A&E.Asthma Spotlight PODCAST and YOUTUBE Disclaimer: The opinions I ex...

2023-10-2517 minAsthma SpotlightConcerns about asthma prescribingI got really concerned reading social media posts by people about their asthma treatment. Two issues worried me - first that there are changes in medication prescriptions without clear explanation for patients (these seem to be done remotely without face to face consults some cases). Second from patients accounts, it seems that some doctors are not aware of the different properties of long acting reliever bronchodilators. Asthma management is not very complicated however without proper treatment, attacks and deaths can result. So its really important for health care professionals to be fully aware of current evidence for best treatment...

Inhaler technique cannot be taught or assessed by phone. Remote routine asthma reviews are becoming very common in UK primary care, especially telephone reviews and this concerns me a lot. Unless these are done by very experienced asthma clinicians they could have adverse consequences. A good asthma review should start with a question whether the person does have asthma; if the diagnosis is not clear detailed medical history , examination and possible referral is needed. Next, if you do...

The key message in this podcast episode is that short courses of corticosteroid (Steroid) tablets are life saving treatment in asthma attacks. However repeated courses of these can be harmful. Therefore the main aim of asthma treatment is to prevent asthma attacks and the need for steroid tablets by treatment with lower doses of corticosteroids delivered by inhalers.

2023-06-1416 minAsthma SpotlightTrained nurses enhance asthma careIn the past, asthma care in the UK was mainly delivered by hospital doctors. Since the 1980's nurse training facilitated asthma care in general practice when it was provided mainly by nurses. Originally around 80% of these nurses caring for people with asthma had extensive asthma training. However due to reduced resources funding and time for nurses to train, plus increased demand for care for a number of long term illnesses, very few nurses currently delegated to care for people with asthma have had sufficient training. So it was indeed a pleasure to interview Bev Bostock who has specialised in...
