The International Primary Care Respiratory Group (IPCRG) has initiated a global social movement to create a desire for change in the management of asthma. Right care means eliminating overuse and underuse of effective interventions, moving away from episodic symptom relief and acute management, and moving to a chronic disease model. It means following international or national asthma guidelines and appropriate use of anti-inflammatory inhaled medicine. In other words:
Doing the right things and only the right things in the right way for the right people at the right time in the right place, whatever that means in the local context.

Breaths, a new initiative from IPCRG offering bite-sized, clinically focused mini-courses to help build confidence in respiratory care. Each mini-course is around 5 minutes, practical, and designed specifically for busy primary care professionals. Find the Breaths videos here.
