BTS/SIGN Guidelines

The BTS/SIGN guidelines are recommendations from British and Scottish respiratory organizations that help healthcare providers diagnose and manage respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD. They offer evidence-based strategies to ensure patients receive accurate diagnoses, appropriate treatments, and effective follow-up care. The goal is to standardize practices across clinics, improve patient outcomes, and ensure safety. These guidelines include best practices for testing lung function, monitoring disease progression, and adjusting treatments based on individual needs, ultimately providing a consistent, high-quality approach to respiratory healthcare.
