Are we ready for climate-friendly inhaler prescription and usage? A qualitative study among primary and secondary care patients, healthcare professionals and healthcare insurers in the Netherlands

Both patients and HCPs feel climate-friendly inhaler prescription is important. Implementation can be promoted by enhancing awareness and providing HCPs with information on inhaler climate impact, how to safely practice climate-friendly prescription and how to inform patients about its benefits. Both patients and HCPs emphasise the significance of preserving freedom of choice in prescription and highlight the need for a consensus approach on climate-friendly prescribing endorsed by all pulmonary care stakeholders.

Abstract

Both patients and HCPs feel climate-friendly inhaler prescription is important. Implementation can be promoted by enhancing awareness and providing HCPs with information on inhaler climate impact, how to safely practice climate-friendly prescription and how to inform patients about its benefits. Both patients and HCPs emphasise the significance of preserving freedom of choice in prescription and highlight the need for a consensus approach on climate-friendly prescribing endorsed by all pulmonary care stakeholders.
