Theoretically informed education to support asthma self-management in primary care: part of the IMP2ART programme

The IMPlementing IMProved Asthma selfmanagement as RouTine (IMP2ART) programme is developing a whole-systems implementation strategy to improve delivery of supported asthma self-management in routine primary care. We aimed to develop professional education that targeted barriers to implementation and improved skills in delivering tailored supported asthma self-management. Both modules were received positively during testing and piloting. Piloting of Module 1 highlighted challenges with using the module in team meetings, leading to a more flexible approach to delivery, and earlier access to the module. Module 2 feedback led to changes in wording and additional explanation of included components. Changes have now been incorporated into the modules.
