There will be case studies included in this CoP. \n\n\n\nCommunity of practice (CoP) sessions aim to improve clinician confidence in managing childhood asthma\, and foster collaboration between asthma care services in the inner west of Melbourne\, the Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH)\, Asthma Australia and the National Asthma Council Australia. Discussions and findings can also be applied to the wider childhood asthma community.  \n\n\n\nThe CoP provides an opportunity for all asthma care providers managing children to come together to improve their clinical knowledge and confidence. The sessions build the confidence of clinicians to access resources and services to better link patients into the system.  \n\n\n\nParticipants are multidisciplinary clinicians from community\, primary and tertiary care services. Members play key roles identifying current barriers\, and work together to develop local solutions to improve the care and service delivery to children living with asthma.  \n\n\n\nOpportunity will be provided for members to bring forth complex\, de-identified case studies to be discussed within the group. This allows members to learn from a multidisciplinary team and better understand the role different care providers have as part of the asthma care team. When available\, local data will also be shared to better understand how the system is performing\, including sharing of hospital emergency admission rates of children with asthma. Clinical content will be covered by subject matter experts\, including specialists from RCH.  \n\n\n\nIf you would like to submit a deidentified case for discussion\, suggest other topics for upcoming sessions\, or join the ICAM CoP Basecamp\, please email education@nwmphn.org.au  \n\n\n\nFacilitators  \n\n\n\nDr Katherine Chen is a paediatrician and the clinical lead of the short stay unit at RCH.
