 Asthma is a very common chronic condition affecting three million people in the UK today. The severity of asthma varies considerably, both in children and adults. Many have mild asthma with only occasional problems, whilst others sometimes require hospital admission to control severe attacks.
However, the majority of people can reasonably expect to lead normal and active lives. Asthma cannot be cured, but with the correct treatment from us and a little know-how from you, you can realistically expect to be free of symptoms and able to enjoy and participate in activities like everyone else.
Do not let asthma rule your life. Our nurses are able to help asthma sufferers take control. If you would like to discuss this further please call, email
or make an appointment with one of our nurses.
We are also developing online services for self-management
of long-term conditions. Self-management is a very important aspect of
your asthma care and you may find that our online "consultation" helps you
to take control. If you have already registered to use our online services you can use this
'logon' link to access the asthma "consultation" questionnaire.
For more information about the online services or if you would like to
register to use them, please refer to the Getting Started page.
Taking control of your asthma allows you the freedom to live your life as you choose, not as your asthma dictates.
