#AskAboutAsthma Week 7th to 11th September

 

This year marks ten years of the #AskAboutAsthma Campaign. Every year, asthma attacks rise sharply when the new academic year starts.

 

The campaign has four asks:

1. Get an asthma action plan in place.
2. Understand how to use inhalers
3. Schedule an asthma review, every year and after every attack.
4. Consider air quality and its impact on lung health.

There are resources available to schools as part of the campaign, including a fact sheet and posters. Please click on the links below to download these:
