Inhaler Technique Training
Inhaler Technique Training
The evidence for poor inhaler technique is both well established and observed worldwide. What
 is unclear from the evidence is why individuals demonstrate poor technique, despite the
 majority admitting to having previously had instruction on inhaler technique. The primary
 research question is 'Will there be a difference between post education inhaler technique
 scores when comparing structured education against informal education?'

 To try and establish why individuals use inhalers incorrectly a semi structured interview is
 proposed
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Inclusion criteria will be anybody whose regular treatment requires inhaled
 medication. They will be included regardless of age, disease, inhaler device used or
 cognition.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  The only exclusion criteria will be if a willing participant is not on an inhaler of
 any type.
