Really useful, thank you!
Really useful, thank you! Especially useful to know that for those patients who require a LAMA or LABA/LAMA, but can't generate the in-flow for a DPI, the soft-mist inhalers provide an option that is lower carbon than an MDI but uses the same inhalation technique. And also really like the infographic showing the effect of different measures to reduce environmental impact of inhalers.
Thanks
Thanks for this link. We have been trying to work on this as part of the Green Impact for Health program https://www.greenimpact.org.uk/giforhealth
As part of this we created a poster based on our local formularly as a reminder of which inhalers are most and least environmentally friendly.
I can't see a way to attach the psoter to this comment but would be happy to share via email if anybody would find it helpful.

Poster for inhalers and sustainability
In Newcastle we've also created a poster, it's not based on a formulary and it's to guide prescribers, aimed at secondary care but could be applicable in primary care - also happy to share this with others if you email me
Yes please Sarah, I have sent
Yes please Sarah, I have sent you a direct message with my email address, thanks!
