Debunking the myths of respiratory health
On Monday 27 June, we launched our week-long campaign on respiratory health, focusing on debunking some myths linked to Asthma and COPD. Everyday we released a new video here on our website, where a member of our team examined a common myth within respiratory health and shed some light on the real facts.
Through these bite-size videos we aim to share knowledge and tips linked to respiratory health and support health and care professionals to impact health outcomes. So now’s the time to test your knowledge; and feel free to share these videos with others.
