FeNO
The Academic Health Science Network secured funding to support procurement of FeNO testing machines and to run a pilot for 12 months in BSW. The pilot has now ended (June 2022) and is currently being evaluated by AHSN. Outcomes and findings of the pilot should be available in September/October 2022.
BEMS have been coordinating the rollout of the pilot with GP Practices in B&NES. This project provided equipment to enable Practices to undertake FeNO testing on patients for whom a diagnosis of Asthma is suspected.
There were 21 B&NES Practices actively participating. Five machines were shared between the participating Practices on a rolling schedule. A total of 1,595 tests have been completed up to the end of June 2022
