Free CPD Webinar | Applying Australian Asthma Handbook updates in everyday clinical practice

23 Apr 2026


Join us for this live CPD webinar on Thursday 14 May at 7pm, and learn how to apply the National Asthma Council (NAC) Australian Asthma Handbook updates in everyday clinical practice.

The NAC's updated Australian Asthma Handbook outlines important new recommendations that encourage health professionals to stop prescribing or advising treatment with as-needed short-acting beta2 agonists (SABA) alone to manage asthma in adults and adolescents. 

The revised guidelines now recommend anti-inflammatory reliever (AIR) only therapy and maintenance-and-reliever therapy (MART) for adults and adolescents (aged over 12). This focus centres on alleviating chronic inflammation in the airways, not just treating the symptoms.


Join us for discussions and case study examples to help with the understanding and adoption of these changes, led by:

A/Prof Debbie Rigby (NAC Clinical Executive Lead and Advanced Practice Pharmacist)

Dr Brett Montgomery (NAC Guidelines Committee Chair and GP)

A/Prof Greg Katsoulotos (NAC Guidelines Committee member and Respiratory, Sleep and Allergy Physician).

The case-based session will cover: 

  • What’s changed in the Australian Asthma Handbook Version 3.0 and why. 
  • Applying the updates for improved diagnosis and management in adults and adolescents. 
  • Practical case scenarios addressing the questions clinicians raised at the guidelines launch.
  • Live Q&A with the expert panel.
