Medical Textbook Description:
Asthma is a common, chronic condition affecting all age groups. While the majority of asthma patients are managed in primary care, the small proportion of patients referred to secondary care have complex needs that tend to be difficult to manage. This book examines the evidence-based management of this diverse patient group from a community perspective.

“Asthma Care in the Community” guides the practitioner through the patient’s journey in a logical approach, from managing uncomplicated asthma, through to acute episodes and ‘difficult to manage’ situations. While addressing the more intricate issues, it also emphasises the ‘back to basics’ approach. Health professionals are continually striving to improve their skills and knowledge. Nurses working in the community and clinicians in contact with asthma patients should find this book a useful tool in developing further their expertise.
