In collaboration with NHS England, this is the last session in our health inequalities series. It explores the impact of specialist respiratory clinics in Birmingham, and the role of health inequalities work in improving prevention. 

Additionally, in collaboration with the West Birmingham community care collaborative commissioned by NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board, this webinar will highlight how a pharmacist-led paediatric respiratory hub is transforming care for children with respiratory symptoms in Birmingham. Childhood respiratory illness is a significant population health challenge and a key focus of the Core20PLUS5 framework. 

The west Birmingham neighbourhood team have developed a new clinical pharmacist led paediatric asthma pathway, offering timely access to diagnostics such as FeNO (fractional exhaled nitric oxide) testing and spirometry through a local community hub. This approach supports earlier diagnosis, more accurate treatment, and reduced reliance on urgent care. Discover how this integrated neighbourhood model is improving early diagnosis, reducing unnecessary treatments, and delivering more effective care for children—while creating a scalable blueprint for system-wide impact.
