Asthma Management

  • Asthma patients on regular medication should attend for a review at least annually or more frequently if their condition dictates.
  • Regular clinic attendance allows monitoring and support so that the risk of emergency admission to hospital is minimised.
  • When asthma symptoms are well controlled there is aminimum impact of the condition on everyday life,
  • We strongly recommend annual flu jabs and immunisation against pneumococcus (a type of pneumonia).

Spirometry

Spirometry is a simple test used to help diagnose and monitor certain lung conditions by measuring how much air you can breath out in one forced breath. It's carried out using a device called a spirometer, which is a small machine attached by cable to a mouthpiece.

Spirometry may be carried out by a doctor or nurse at the surgery or during a visit to the hospital
