It is important that children, their parents and carers understand how to best manage their asthma.#AskAboutAsthma is taking place on 3-9 October 2022. It is an ideal opportunity to learn more and ensure you know the basics. It is particularly important that you:
1. get an asthma action plan in place,
2. understand how to use inhalers correctly,
3. schedule an asthma review – every year and after every attack, and
4. consider air pollution and its impact on lung health.
Professionals, as well as parents and the general public, can help to share the message to get people involved and informed. The Twitter hashtags are #AskAboutAsthma and #asthmacareforall
There are events taking place for professionals, including a virtual one-day conference on 6 October, as well as a primary care webinar on 7 October 2022. More information and events can be found here.
