description
Inhalers account for 3% of the overall NHS carbon footprint. Most of these emissions come from the propellants used in metered dose inhalers (MDIs). Lower carbon alternatives, such as dry-powder inhalers (DPIs), are available and clinically equivalent for many patients. The NHS Long Term Plan and the NHS Net Zero Strategy set targets to deliver significant and accelerated reductions in the total emissions from the NHS by moving to lower carbon inhalers. Irrespective of the type of inhaler prescribed, suboptimal use of inhalers also contributes to higher carbon emissions.
There is therefore an opportunity to both improve patient outcomes and reduce carbon emissions from inhalers, by optimising the choice and the use of inhalers for respiratory conditions.
Objectives
The objective of this assignment is to
| • | create patient resources that support patient choice of a greener inhaler and optimal use of inhaler, to improve patient outcome and reduce carbon emissions; it is expected that some of this will only be signposting to existing resources (e.g. on inhaler technique and adherence) while some will be new material (e.g. greener inhaler) |
| • | disseminate and promote these resources to inhaler users, their family and carers in an impactful way |
A key objective of this contract will be to bring the key messages together in a unified and clear narrative. The messaging is complex, and therefore the Authority are expecting the provider to present a robust and evidence-based proposal on the best way to communicate those messages across the target audiences, including proposals on measures of success.
The provider will be expected to develop patient resources to promote the NHS key messages around choice, use and disposal of inhalers.
The resources should be adapted to various stages of the patient pathway, including:
| • | At the end of an appointment where a new inhaler treatment has been discussed (including a change of inhaler), and the clinician can signpost patients to more information |
| • | Between two appointments, to raise awareness of key messages among patients and prompt conversation with their clinician |
| • | At the pharmacy when patients collect or bring back their inhalers |
| • | On an ongoing basis, for patients looking for more information around choice and use of inhaler |
