Automating correct inhaler technique in asthma & COPD to improve care Reducing the carbon footprint of MDIs Women in Innovation award winner 2023

We're conducting clinical trials in the NW of Northern Ireland where deprivation, poor access to care and poor air quality = highest emergency admission rates/ 100,000 population in the UK. Shocking inequality. Be part of the solution. #techforgood @innovateuk @UUResearchInnov

Evidence that improving symptom control is the right Net Zero target, not inhaler switching.

Great to see the Minister @RobinSwann_MLA showing his support for improving lung health ❤️

Important to highlight that DPIs are not suitable for everyone

Great work @ProfHurst I see it all too often these days, COPD patients being blanket switched to a DPI but the don't have enough inspiratory drive especially when exacerbating If discharged on the same inhaler, it's just going to happen again 1 night admission = 10 MDI CO2

Agree. Misinformation that needs to be corrected.

@morninglive will @xandvt be on tomorrow to apologise for the numerous incorrect statements and false information he gave out today? It's NOT the end of the inhaler Old fashioned isn't unsafe Steroids save lives when used correctly No mention of BLUE inhaler in an emergency

Timely advice from @asthmalungni Essential to do this, a great time to check technique is correct and especially important in those higher risk teens/ adolescents 🙂

#HalfTerm is here! Some children get out of routine and do not take their preventer medicines every day as prescribed. There are many signs and symptoms that may indicate their asthma is getting worse. Read our top tips and advice: asthmaandlung.org.uk/conditions/ast…

Very important that this inaccurate, dangerous commentary is removed from iPlayer and corrected. Perhaps @bbchealth should review?

📣 Today we launch our End The #LungHealthLottery campaign and need your help to urge the government to take lung conditions seriously. People in some areas of the UK are more likely to be hospitalised or die from a lung condition simply because of where they live.

Deprivation, and access to care are two of the main reasons for high emergency admissions and mortality in asthma. The figures are shocking. BBC News - Lung disease: 'For asthma to take her life was just unbelievable' bbc.co.uk/news/health-64…

Great advice for MDI users of any age 🙂

One of our most common bugbears? Teenagers and young people being told they’re ‘too old’ to use a spacer now! Time to undo those bad habits and encourage the importance of spacer use - no matter your age! 🫁
