In this webinar, Richard Beasley will discuss the diagnosis and treatment of asthma following a stepwise algorithm.
Management of treatable traits is crucial to good management. The New Zealand and international GINA asthma guidelines make evidence-based recommendations for the treatment of asthma in adolescents and adults.
The priority is to implement the recommendations in clinical practice to ensure that patients in NZ receive evidence-based management.
