National Review of Asthma Deaths: Call for panel assessors
This is likely to be a landmark study and you can be part of it
The PCRS-UK believe that the learning from this project will help to guide improvements in the care of people with asthma and that recommendations can be made to help prevent deaths from asthma in the future
This audit, led by the Royal College of Physicians within a consortium of 13 organisations including PCRS-UK, will focus the attention of the NHS on the fact that people all ages and varying illness severity are still dying from asthma and that there is a real need to improve the lives of people with asthma
Examining primary care notes will be a key part of understanding the circumstances leading up to and surrounding a death from asthma – so we are very keen to ensure a large number of people from primary and community care take part as assessors
This is a great opportunity for personal development and will qualify for CME and CPD points and being part of a panel will provide opportunities for networking with other asthma interested health professionals in your part of the country.
Training will be provided. Most meetings will be held in the relevant regions (London, Bristol, Birmingham or Manchester, Newcastle, Belfast and Edinburgh) , and the time commitment is minimal, around 2 days of actual meetings within the 15 month period from the start of the data collection in 2012.
