Asthma Reviews
During your Asthma Review appointment, Katie will then undertake your asthma review in a similar fashion to that undertaken previously in the practice, asking you questions and checking your inhaler technique prior to completing your Asthma Action Plan with you. Your next Asthma Review appointment date will depend on the findings of your last appointment, your current treatment and any asthma symptoms or exacerbations you have experienced. If your asthma symptoms worsen at any time, please contact the practice.
