Perceptions among primary care staff towards financial incentives to promote implementation of asthma self-management: a qualitative study in Northern Ireland
Conclusion: Financial incentives are viewed positively in primary care, however patient health was the highest priority. Practices are continually developing strategies to increase patient attendance at annual reviews, particularly among those with poorly controlled asthma. Understanding how practices responded to this scheme could inform future policy on similar initiatives.
