The French Association Asthme & Allergies will celebrate World Asthma Day by promoting “asthma schools” in France
Patient education has a positive impact on chronic diseases, but many patients are unaware of the possibilities. The Association is promoting patient education for people with asthma through a national communication campaign, including a press release, and the publication of a booklet and posters. In Addition, at local levels, more than 100 different actions are organised in France: public open day in asthma schools, workshops, on-the-spot peak flow meter testing, sport competitions, distribution of booklets and posters…
The actions target a wide audience: people with asthma and their relatives, care givers, pharmacists, and doctors.
