My name is Fernando Florido and I am a GP in the United Kingdom. In this video I have done a summary of the NICE guidance on asthma management. The full guideline also contains advice on asthma diagnosis and, if you are interested in this, please refer to the corresponding episodes on this channel. The NICE guideline “Asthma: diagnosis, monitoring and chronic asthma management” or NG80 was published on 29 November 2017 and it was last updated on 22 March 2021.
