From Counter to Consult: Inhaler Technique

National Asthma Council Clinical Executive Lead Debbie Rigby and primary care nurse Deepika walk through inhaler technique side by side: slow and steady for pressurised inhalers, fast and deep for dry powder devices, and why mixing the two up is the most common reason treatment underperforms. They cover the most frequent errors at the counter, when a spacer is needed, and the simple habit that catches most of them: watching a patient use their device rather than asking if they know how.
