Asthma is one of the most prevalent lung conditions in the UK. Around eight in 100 people are diagnosed with it (Asthma + Lung UK, 2024). However, according to the British Thoracic Society (BTS, 2024), asthma affects around 12% of the UK population, with 160,000 people being newly diagnosed each year. This article focuses on the importance of finding the right inhaler to meet patient needs and lifestyle, while exploring the concepts of shared decision-making within respiratory reviews.
