Have you or a relative been (recently) diagnosed with a respiratory disease or an allergy? Despite the informational session you may have had with the healthcare professional, you might be looking for more answers.
In this section you will find information especially designed for patients and carers, covering health literacy, patient rights and e-health. All the material has been integrated by European patient experts’ advocates from the EFA Patient Education Working Group.
The material comprises a varying range of topics from general information about the diseases to practical guides on more concrete topics.
On asthma and COPD you will find courses on (self-) management, covering among other topics how to correctly use an inhaler, how to safely exercise with a respiratory disease and guides for caregivers.
On allergy, there are guides available for school teachers about allergic children’s needs. Additionally, there are manuals on materials-chemicals suitable for allergic patients. You will also find leaflets and brochures on allergy medication use and an emergency food allergy & anaphylaxis action plan.
The materials are available in EFA members’ original language and are classified in this section to promote their use and dissemination among patients, practitioners and companies.
