Nice | Exhaled nitric oxide measurement in asthma

This new guideline from NICE looks at measuring exhaled Nitric Oxide (eNO) in asthma. I have never heard of this, so I’ll just lay out the guidance and then give a bit more of an explanation as to what this is all about.

NICE recommendations

Measuring eNO is recommended as an option to aid diagnosis of asthma in both adults and children if:

  • There is an intermediate possibility of them having asthma (helpfully defined as where the diagnosis is uncertain)
  • It is done in combination with other diagnostic options (eg clinical judgment / spirometry / reversibility testing etc).

"Going from being a trainee to being a GP can be a really difficult transition. Taking on the administration associated with things like locum work can make that even more difficult.

Ali from LocumDeck showed me how to use their tool to simplify and automate the invoicing and locum form process to save me time and energy. With the free one-year membership for new GPs this was a real no-brainer that meant I could spend more time on the things that really matter, and less time filling in paperwork.

I can't thank Ali enough for her help and the time she has saved me."
