Paediatric Asthma Care Masterclass: Practical Engagement Strategies- Asthma Australia

Despite advances in asthma care, many families face challenges implementing consistent management strategies, leading to preventable emergency department visits and hospitalisations.  

This webinar will tackle strategies to empower children with asthma and their families through effective education and shared decision-making. We will use scenario-based learning to provide practical, real-world examples of shared care and multi-disciplinary approaches in primary care. You will gain access to practical tools from Asthma Australia to integrate seamlessly into your daily clinical practice.
