All health professionals working with patients who have asthma have a vital role to play in implementing the superb new evidence based guideline.
The British Thoracic Society (BTS) and the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) herald an exciting new phase in the management of asthma care in the UK. The development of the guideline, using the SIGN methodology, involved a rigorous systematic process of investigation to find and apply the best clinical evidence to guide clinical decisions about asthma treatment and management.
