Reducing the overall impact of pressurised metered dose inhalers on climate change (2022)

Cheshire CCG/Countess of Chester

Project Summary

Provided GP practices with worksheets to enable clinicians to focus on reviewing higher carbon, more expensive pressurised metered dose inhalers and where clinically appropriate reviewing and switching the produce to a dry powder inhaler.

This has created a awareness within the prescribing teams so more sustainable decisions are made resulting in lower carbon and more cost effective inhalers being used for the NHS.
