Allergic asthma forms the commonest form of asthma and its associated comorbid allergic rhinitis. House dust mite sensitisation for example is associated with asthma onset and severity. Patients with hay fever are also at risk of severe asthma attacks. Sensitisation to allergens also forms large part of occupational asthma. This talk will aim to highlight the burden of allergy in asthma, its investigation and management

The Buteyko Breathing Association (BBA) is an organisation of healthcare professionals trained in Buteyko techniques to treat breathing pattern disorders. We aim to promote and sharing the evidence-based practice of Buteyko breathing techniques in healthcare settings.

The BBA provide an online teacher training course for healthcare professionals to become accredited in this technique.

The purpose of this presentation is to help clinicians understand how tcPCO2 monitoring can be a valuable parameter in the adult respiratory population, from their stay in a critical care unit to the ...

You are the key to getting to a diagnosis of occupational lung disease early. Workers have a much better prognosis if the cause of their disease can be removed within a year of the first symptom. It's a simple question that needs to be added to the clinical history: "does your breathing feel better away from work or on holidays" This can then be the key to finding a cause and removal of that cause, which may lead to resolution of symptoms and a halt to disease progression.

Managing severe COPD remains a key challenge within the NHS, despite improvements in the delivery of inhaled therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation and non-invasive ventilation. NIV plays an increasingly i ...
