UKIG Standards for Inhaler Technique
https://ukiginhalerstandards.educationforhealth.org/
The UK Inhaler Group (UKIG), a coalition of not-for-profit organisations and professional societies, recognises that many people find inhalation of medicines complicated and difficult leading to sub-optimal use and effect. It is vital that healthcare professionals have the skills to assist patients, yet many practitioners lack the necessary knowledge and skills relating to inhaler technique to support them.
As a result, UKIG has developed a set of standards and competencies for healthcare practitioners to enable them to work with patients to optimise technique and maximise the benefit of the medication. This site shows the standards in an easily accessible way.

Ever since the responsibility of this educational initiative transferred to Education for Health, we have been working hard to review and update the range of materials relating to COPD and its management. The initiative continues to include the successful “ten minute tutorials” and two minute refreshers relating specifically to what is COPD and its diagnosis and screening but now also includes:
- new features including fact sheets
- a reflective diary designed to support healthcare professionals with revalidation and overall professional development.
Diabetes Injection Technique and Safety
People with diabetes experience unexplained hypoglycaemia and glycaemic variation all too frequently. Evidence shows us that in many cases instruction on injection technique, injection site care and patient recall of education is sub-optimal.
By completing this Diabetes Injection Technique and Safety online programme you will increase your knowledge and skill and help to support people with diabetes using insulin to progress towards their health goals.
