Concordance with asthma treatment

The evidence suggests that between two thirds to a half of all medications prescribed for long term conditions are not taken as recommended. In asthma care, there is widespread non-adherence to taking preventer medications regularly (NICE, 2009).

This session will cover:

• The difference between adherence and concordance with treatment
• Personalisation and relational working
• Consultation techniques: benefits/concerns, health/literacy, safety netting
• How to spot poor concordance
• Tools to aid concordance including play therapy
