Fixing the Asthma Register (Project ONE of TWO)
This is the first of two projects, which involves a review of the Asthma register; identifying patients with the appropriate evidence for their diagnosis in their notes, patients who may have Asthma but need further confirmatory testing, and those who do not have Asthma and should be removed from the register.
Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 76.3% adult patients and 67.4% children and young adult patients on the Asthma registers have evidence of any tests results that can be used to support their diagnosis.
The Asthma Diagnostic Review (Project TWO of TWO)

Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 76.3% adult patients and 67.4% children and young adult patients on the Asthma registers have evidence of any tests results that can be used to support their diagnosis.
Promote the Asthmahub Apps (Project ONE of TWO)
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.
