Asthma

Dr Brian Perkins is the General Practitioner Asthma Lead

All Asthma Patients will be offered a 30 to 45 minute appointment for their initial assessment. During this appointment they will receive inhaler technique assessment and training so it is essential that all inhalers, spacers etc are brought to this appointment. A 15 to 30 minute appointment will then be offered for each follow up review. 

Once the patient is established with inhaler / medication for asthma a Personalised Asthma Action Plan and Self-Management resources with be provided to enable self-management of symptoms.

Patients / carers will be reminded to bring all inhaled medication to their appointments.

Patients with asthma are added to an Asthma Register and will be invited for review every 3 to 12 months depending on age and symptom control. 

It is important for anyone experiencing any problems that they book an appointment with the Practice Nurse or the GP as soon as possible.
