Asthma Network Conference 2025

Programme overview

We are excited to host the Asthma Conference 2025! The Allergy Academy from King’s College London is collaborating with the paediatric and adult severe asthma centres to provide a panel of national and international experts to best inform practice. This multidisciplinary day will cover a wide range of topics to enable safe, state-of-the-art care in adults and children presenting with asthma across the UK. Our emphasis is on a holistic integrated pathway approach, from community to specialist difficult asthma care networks where required. Our speakers include expert opinion leaders, senior nursing staff, behavioural psychologist, pharmacists and clinicians with expertise in supporting best access for hard-to-reach communities.

Asthma remains a huge health burden for up to 15% of our society across the life-course, bringing regular unscheduled admissions, repeated reviews and sometimes life-threatening acute episodes. The day emphasises common themes between children / adult care, and deals with transition and inequity in care as a topic in particular. Best practice relies on accurate structured decision-making, working within multidisciplinary teams, and access to the latest treatments where conventional asthma therapy is not sufficient. Some of the most recent pharmacotherapy in this area is utterly transforming the boundaries of care, and includes recent developments in combined medicines, delivery devices, biologic and personalised medicines.

This network day will be an in person, face to face event at the Robens Suite of Guy’s Hospital, London, to maximise all networking and clinical discussion on the day. There will be no recording or hybrid option, because the emphasis is on meeting leaders in clinical, academic and multidisciplinary care models.

This day is suitable for all health care professionals working with patients who have asthma, emphasising equity of access, prompt and evidence-based treatment in accordance with GINA, BTS and NICE guidance.
