Asthma Clinic
If you have Asthma, the links below may be useful for learning further about your condition and what you can do to improve it. You can check your inhaler technique and download your own asthma plan.
Asthma plans are an important aid for managing your disease, which involves knowing your own "Peak Flow" measurement using a Peak Flow Meter.
A Peak Flow Meter can be prescribed by the surgery on prescription, requested via the prescription phone line. If you already have one then please let us know for our records as this may mean that we can manage your annual asthma review remotely without requirement to attend the surgery.
