The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) and the British Thoracic Society (BTS) are developing a new guideline on severe asthma. We are looking for people based in Scotland or England who have lived experience of severe asthma, and parents or carers of children and young people with severe asthma, to join a lived experience panel.
Panel members will share their experiences and views to help make sure the guideline reflects what matters most to people affected by severe asthma.
