ABDA expands training series for inhalation devices
The German pharmacy association ABDA has released a new training video focusing on the correct use of Ellipta powder inhalers for healthcare professionals.
ABDA has updated its professional development series, pDL Inhalativa, with a new video focused on the Ellipta powder inhaler. The initiative aims to standardize patient guidance provided by pharmacy staff regarding respiratory medication devices.
The video details the technical specifications of the device and demonstrates the proper inhalation technique. It further depicts a simulated pharmacy counseling session where a professional identifies and corrects common patient handling errors. Final segments provide guidance on maintenance and device hygiene to ensure treatment efficacy.
Alongside the video release, ABDA has published a corresponding episode of its 'pDL-Talk' podcast, providing context on the production process. The materials are hosted on the organization's pDL Campus platform.
