A reflection on Salbutamol overuse in one GP practice in Islington: a community action project at Imperial College London.
As 3rd-year medical students at Imperial College London, we investigated Salbutamol overuse in the community of Islington. We were inspired to carry out this project due to the high prevalence of Salbutamol overuse which became evident during our GP placement. This was part of our Community Action Project (CAP) which aims for students to investigate issues within their GP practice and patient population and create solutions to help overcome this, like a quality improvement project. This project focused on the local community around the GP practice. We spoke to 11 patients individually who were at high risk of severe asthma attacks, assessing their understanding of Salbutamol and their Salbutamol usage. Patients had varied responses, with some using their inhaler five times a day, to others using it very rarely. This project gave us newly found insight into the growing issue of Salbutamol overuse. Using the information gathered from these patient interviews, we produced an educational poster about Salbutamol inhaler usage.
