Sharing Best Practices Finnish Allergy, Skin and Asthma Federation European Federation of Allergy and Airways Diseases Patients`Associations Annual General and Patient Leaders Meeting 16 April -17 April 2018 Etusivuvaihtoehto 1

News from Finnland The Allergy and Asthma Federation and the Central Organisation for Skin Patients merged on at the beginning of the year 2017 (1 March 2017) Why? - > For the sake of effectiveness The organisation comprises 18 500 members with their families (a total of about 25,000) Three regional offices (Helsinki, Mikkeli, Oulu) 53 local associations Some 150 peergroups Finnish Allergy, Skin and Asthma Federation research unit in SE Finland

The public part of The Finnish Allergy Programme 2008-2018 Allergy and Asthma Federation (1.3.2017 Allergy, Skin and Asthma Federation) The Organisation for Respiratory Health in Finland Finnish Central Organisation for Skin Patients Over 60 000 members

Key messages Endorse health, not allergy Strengthen tolerance Adopt a new attitude to allergy, and avoid allergens only if mandatory Recognise and treat severe allergies early; prevent exacerbations Improve air quality; stop smoking

FAP in action: The role of NGOs A special joint project started in 1.3.2011, financed by Finland’s Center for Social Welfare and Health (STEA) (Slot Machine Association) Target groups: media and general public (not only ’high risk’ groups) Focusing on the internet, radio, tv Educational material (posters, leaflets) Public events as needed Personnel education: key persons and peer workers in patient organisations

Results The first 5-year results of the programme indicate rapid changes for the better. Asthma emergency visits and hospital days were halved. Occupational allergies fell by 40%. In the first decade of the 2000s, the direct allergy and asthma costs together with costs for disability pensions fell 15%. During the early years of the programme, 2007-2013, these costs have fallen from € 386 to 367 million (-5%). Asthma costs decreased by 9% and comprised 63% of all costs.

Conclusions Our revisiting of the allergy paradigm has led to actions relevant to society and health-care as a whole The mid-term results of the programme indicate that the burden of allergy and asthma in the Finnish society has started to decline.

Summary of the public part of the Finnish Allergy Programme Go where the people are: social media! Be creative: interact with organizations and companies (media, patients, business) Measure the impacts: money vs. results Tackle the allergy epidemic – challenge the immune system! Next steps -> The key message of the programs has changed into an operational model in each co-operation organization This Programme suggest higly that connection with nature is needed to improve our immunosystem We have started a new project in connection with the natural environment
