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.

The majority of people can reasonably expect to lead normal and active lives. Asthma cannot be cured, but you can realistically expect to be free of symptoms and able to enjoy and participate in activities like everyone else.

We encourage everyone with asthma to attend once a year to make sure they are on the best treatment and using it properly. If you are asthmatic and haven’t been to our asthma clinic please make an appointment at Reception.

Please don't wait until your Asthma is bad before coming to the clinic, we are there to help you prevent problems as well as sorting them out.
