Why Should Healthcare Professionals Attend This Webinar?

Asthma remains one of the most common long-term conditions managed in primary care, yet evolving guidance, inhaler options, and pathway terminology (MART, AIR and SMART) can create uncertainty for clinicians. Inconsistent application of asthma pathways, suboptimal inhaler choice, and poor adherence can lead to uncontrolled symptoms, avoidable exacerbations, and increased healthcare utilisation.

This webinar provides a clear, practical overview of modern asthma management pathways, helping clinicians confidently translate national guidance into day-to-day practice. Using real-world clinical scenarios, the session will clarify when and how to use MART, AIR and SMART approaches, supporting safer prescribing and improved patient outcomes.

Key Benefits

This CPD-accredited webinar will support healthcare professionals to:

Build clinical confidence – understand the rationale behind MART, AIR and SMART pathways, recognise appropriate patient selection, and identify red flags requiring escalation or specialist referral.
Apply practical management strategies – optimise inhaler choice, step treatment up or down appropriately, manage poor control, and improve adherence through effective patient education.
Use evidence-based guidance – align asthma care with current UK guidelines, including NICE and BTS/SIGN recommendations, to deliver consistent and high-quality respiratory care in primary care settings.

Additional Information

CPD certificates will be issued to all attendees.
