What Professor Damian Roland has said
“This study will provide answers to an important question for children, families and healthcare professionals. When we spoke to children and their families before we began the study, they told us that their child feeling better and looking well was the most important outcome. We hope that our results will help to standardise asthma treatment in the UK, ensuring that children and young people receive the fastest, most appropriate and best possible care.”
