Think GP Asthma Education

We have partnered with Reed Medical Education to create free accredited asthma education for GP’s and other health professionals via Think GP.

Available on Think GP is the Asthma in Australia: Practical Solutions for challenges in primary care Accredited Learning Module (ALM).

There are six modules which are available as one Accredited Learning Module (ALM). Please register here if you choose to undertake all six modules as one ALM.

Alternatively, you can register for individual modules below:

  3. Adjusting treatment and encouraging adherence – Register here
  4. Preventative care to stop asthma flares – Register here
  5. Paediatric asthma – Register here

This ALM explores the impact of asthma for patients, and common challenges to providing optimal care in primary practice. Based on current Australian guidelines, the ALM covers best practice diagnostic and management principles, strategies for preventive care and reducing the risk of hospitalisation, and real-world tips for making the most of your consultation time with a patient.

Patient case studies and downloadable resources are included throughout the ALM, as well as information on ways to tailor treatment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and for culturally and linguistically diverse populations.
