Asthma Clinic
We carry out a number of asthma clinics at various times throughout the week. We see asthma patients on a yearly basis but if there are any changes to symptoms we request that patient's return sooner. We ask that when a patient attends for their asthma review can they please bring along any inhalers they use so that the nurse can carry out various checks i.e. in date, inhaler technique etc.
What to expect at your asthma review

- Peak flow readings.
- Demonstration of inhalers from both patient and nurse.
