Asthma can be a serious and life threatening conditioning if not managed well; it is also very variable and affects people differently. Understanding your medication and how your condition varies is key to good control. Our annual reviews are designed to understand how your asthma affects you and what your triggers are. We can then help you choose the most appropriate medication and device that suits you, ensuring you can use it properly and adjust doses if necessary.
We recommend annual review (usually in the month of your birthday) to monitor if your symptoms are changing, reinforce good inhaler technique and explore if any changes to medication would be beneficial. We will write to remind you when your annual review is due if you have not already remembered to book in the month of your birthday.
If you are struggling with symptoms or have had a recent exacerbation or ‘attack’, then you should book a review appointment with one of our asthma nurses and not wait for your annual review.
