A Beyond Bikini Medicine webinar: Asthma is worse for women

A Women in Pharma event with Dr Sam Walker, Director of Research & Innovation at Asthma + Lung UK
Friday, September 27, 2024

We are delighted to announce that Dr Samantha Walker, Director of Research and Innovation at Asthma and Lung UK, will be our guest at our next Beyond Bikini Medicine webinar.

Even if you work in respiratory medicine, or have asthma yourself, it may come as a surprise to discover that around the world, compared with men, women:*

- Are more likely to have asthma- Have significantly more asthma attacks than men

- Are more likely to be hospitalised

- Are more likely to die from asthma

- Have far worse outcomes than men

- Suffer a disproportionately higher impact on their working livesIn the long history of asthma

- first recognised over 2000 years ago

- it has been considered as affecting women and men in the same way.

Now we know this is not correct and the 'one size fits all' approach to diagnosis, management and treatment is being challenged by Asthma and Lung UK and leading experts around the world.
