All Guidance
LSCMMG has granted interim approval for this position statement ONLY. LSCMMG is aware that each locality, prior to the establishment of the ICB, had adopted the 'Over the counter items that should not be routinely prescribed in primary care policy'.
Interim approval has been granted to provide consistency of advice to prescribers whilst the ICB considers whether to adopt the 'Over the counter items that should not be routinely prescribed in primary care policy' across Lancashire and South Cumbria.
This asthma summary guideline has been created in collaboration with the Lancashire and South Cumbria Clinical Asthma Group led by Dr Aashish Vyas, with the aim to provide a consistent approach to asthma treatment for adults within LSCMMG.
