Delivering asthma reviews during the Covid-19 pandemic

Nurses performing remote asthma reviews during the Covid-19 pandemic outline their experiences

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic meant that the delivery of asthma management in primary care changed virtually overnight, requiring the introduction of alternatives to face-to-face care. This study examines the experiences of nurses who were performing asthma reviews during the pandemic, identifying the key themes that emerged, as well as providing recommendations for future practice.
