    National Welsh Standard

    Management of Paediatric Asthma in the Community

    The aim of this National Welsh Standard is to explore some of the complexities of managing paediatric asthma in the community, and ensure that every patient with poorly controlled asthma is identified and measures are put in place to regain control of their asthma. Check out the TV show and tutorials on the diagnosis of the management of paediatric asthma, before undertaking the assessment.

    NICE Quality standards [QS25]:

    1. People aged 5 years and over with asthma discuss and agree a written personalised action plan.
    2. People with asthma have their asthma control monitored at every asthma review.
    3. People who receive treatment in an emergency care setting for an asthma attack are followed up by their GP within 2 working days of discharge.
    4. People with suspected severe asthma are referred to a specialist multidisciplinary severe asthma service.

                          Overview of the project

                          This is the first of two projects, which involves targeting all patients on the Asthma register and letting them know about the digital resources available that will provide them with a digital Personalised Asthma Action Plan.

                          Why is it important?

                          Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 16.1% 1-5 year olds, 24.3% 6-18 years olds, and 25.9% adults have any record of a personalised Asthma Action Plan in their records. If a patient has a personalised asthma action plan, they are four times less likely to be admitted to hospital with an asthma attack.

                              Why is it important?

                              Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 44.4% patients on the COPD and Asthma registers have had their inhaler technique checked.

                                  This QI project will ensure that every patient is asked about their exposure to second hand smoke and their parent’s offered Very Brief Advice.

                                  Why is it important?

                                  Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggests that less than 1% patients on the paediatric asthma registers have been asked about their exposure to second hand smoke.
