World Asthma Day
In recognition of World Asthma Day 2025, Well Street Surgery would like to invite you to #Ask about Asthma.
Asthma attacks cause great distress for sufferers and their carers, and these attacks may result in hospital admission and, in some cases, death. Inhaled corticosteroid containing medications prevent asthma attacks by treating the underlying inflammation that causes asthma.
Here are 3 steps we would like to discuss with you as work to raise awareness on asthma and how to manage it.
1. Get an asthma action plan in place
A written personalised asthma action plan with your asthma pharmacist or nurse means people are four times less likely to have to go to hospital for their asthma.
2. Understand how to use inhalers correctly
Less than three-quarters of children and young people have any form of instruction in how to use their inhaler. Poor inhaler technique means patients don’t get the full benefit of their asthma medication.
3. Schedule an asthma review – every year and after every attack
An asthma review by an appropriately trained clinician after every attack helps to work out what went wrong. An annual review ensures effective management of the condition.
If you would like to take that step, book an appointment with one of our asthma nurses or pharmacist and #Ask about Asthma.
