Asthma management is changing, and pharmacists are central to helping patients understand what that means in practice. With updated national and international guidelines shifting away from short-acting reliever-only treatment, pharmacists need to feel confident in supporting evidence-based therapy and clear patient communication. This workshop explores the latest changes to asthma management and how to apply them in pharmacy practice. Participants will learn how to translate the new recommendations into everyday conversations, improve adherence, and promote safe and effective asthma control. Learning objectives: • Identify key changes in current asthma guidelines. • Discuss how the new guidelines affect pharmacist practice. • Recognise strategies to support patient understanding and adherence. Competency standards (2016): 1.1, 1.6, 3.1, 3.5
