The asthma clinic is open to all asthmatic patients. Your doctor may refer you, but you are also able to book your own appointments. You can either book by telephone, in person, or via Patient Online Services.
The aim of the clinic is to help diagnose asthma, to educate patients about their asthma, and to provide monitoring and support. It is run by practice nurses, who have had special training in respiratory diseases. They will be able to help find the right medication to control symptoms and identify patients with poor control of their asthma. The nurses help patients self-manage their asthma and to improve the quality of life.
