World Asthma Day 2022

Using your inhalers correctly (with a spacer) will help close the gap in asthma care by improving lung function, reducing asthma flare-ups, improving the effectiveness of medication allowing it to get to the lungs which can reduce oral side effects, stopping medication getting into the mouth, throat and stomach.

Help share the word for this World Asthma Day, 3rd of May! 💙

We stopped this service in accordance with National guidelines and in the safety interest of both staff and clients. We have been continuing our services to the public via telehealth, offering phone and Zoom consults for education and support. Some of our clients have been a little to reluctant to keep their appointments as they felt it was not worthwhile if we couldn't do the lung function test so we came up with 12 Reasons to speak to an asthma educator even though they can’t do Spirometry right now....Read on to find out more
