Abstrakt: Severe asthma is a subset of difficult-to-treat asthma which requires a systematic and multidimensional approach including the need to manage multiple comorbidities that mimic asthma. Multidisciplinary care is becoming the standard for the assessment of such patients. Multidisciplinary team (MDT) clinics are virtually nonexistent in the private space. We developed an MDT clinic to handle needs in the private space and found it was an invaluable tool for assessment, reflective practice and professional development.
