We want to make sure that people living with asthma and COPD receive the best possible care and have the best possible health. We work closely with patients to make sure our audit programme focuses on improvement targets in the areas most important to people living with asthma and COPD.
Our work with patients
NRAP have established two vibrant patient panels. The first, hosted by Asthma + Lung UK, represents adults with COPD and/or asthma who may also be carers. The second, hosted by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) represents children and young people with asthma, as well as parents and carers. The patient panels meet regularly online to share their priorities for respiratory care and discuss how they think NRAP can best educate and empower both patients with respiratory disease and those responsible for the care that they receive.
Support and resources for patients
NRAP work with patients to co-create resources to help people living with asthma and COPD understand our improvement work and know how to access the best possible care.
