Abstract

Abstract Body

This presentation will provide an update on:

Protection measures for people with asthma. What has been recommended; the impact of lockdown and physical distance on curbing down de pandemic. Have we neglected our asthma patients during the pandemic?

Asthma and COVID-19 risks: adequate asthma control as a means to minimise risk in case of Covid-19 infection. Promoting self-care and remote support to maintain asthma control.

Impact on services: use of remote consultations, diagnosis rates and accuracy. Remote consultations were needed to protect GP and patient during COVID. This will eventually change practice forever. What constitutes a ‘remote respiratory consultation’ and what does it look like now in your experience? When should it be safely done?

Anticipating return to a “new normal”: how to prioritise asthma reviews. How to deal with patients who recovered from Covid 19.
