Asthma
We aim to provide continued monitoring and care of asthma/COPD
patients, and help them to improve self–management. Appointments are
offered to all patients with asthma/COPD to attend for annual review
with the practice nurse. Children with asthma are reviewed on a more
regular basis depending on the severity of their asthma. Patients
can have their peak flow and inhaler techniques reviewed and get up
to date information about new medications.
