Grab your trainers, your dog lead, and enjoy the crunchy leaves under your feet as you savour your drink of choice and join us for some free CPD as we have another relaxed round up of recent Red Whale primary care Pearls of wisdom.  In the first of two episodes this month, Ali and Nik discuss: 

  • Asthma: the autumn spike. The Primary Care Respiratory Society has drawn our attention to this. It refers to the significant increase in asthma admissions that occurs each autumn in the UK, particularly impacting children and young people. We can help prevent this by ensuring every person living with asthma has a personalised asthma action plan, appropriate prevention treatment, annual review AND review after every exacerbation.  

Listen as soon as you can to ensure you have full access to all the free resources. 

The rest of the Pearls from September will be covered next time.
