How to Counsel a Patient on Asthma & Inhaler Technique | OSCE Talk

In this episode of OSCE Talk, we walk through how to counsel a patient on asthma, using clear, patient-friendly explanations that score marks in OSCEs.

We cover:

  • How to explain asthma simply (reversible airway disease)

  • Common triggers and why symptoms fluctuate

  • Holistic management including lifestyle and vaccinations

  • Preventer vs reliever inhalers and when control is poor

  • Step-by-step inhaler technique, including spacers

  • Red flags and when to attend A&E

  • Key OSCE tips and guideline updates (including MART regimens)

This episode is ideal for medical students and foundation doctors preparing for OSCE stations involving asthma counselling, inhaler technique, or respiratory education.

🎧 Listen alongside our Asthma History Taking episode for full exam preparation.
