Abstract

The nurses from the Allergology Unit of the Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro, Majadahonda (Madrid) put forward to the team the idea of creating a specialized outpatient clinic on asthma education, given its high prevalence, and obtained consensus by the interdisciplinary team and accreditation by the Spanish Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology. The project for creating this new outpatient clinic came up at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the need to improve the education and follow-up of these chronic patients in order to reduce relapses. The Outpatient Clinic for Education on Severe Asthma was launched in March 2022. Therapeutic education, as an ongoing process of patient-centred care, is one of the keys to improve disease control and the quality of life of patients and their families. The nurse is the key professional involved in all processes of care, who can achieve the promotion of patient empowerment regarding their disease, as well as an active role in self-care.
