Asthma Management
Adults

For adults post asthma diagnosis, the next step is to work with your GP to develop a management (action) plan. This will include choosing a treatment that is appropriate to your asthma symptoms, lifestyle, risk factors and the treatment preferences.
Further, our GP will provide all the required information on asthma as well as providing all the tools for self-management, including the correct inhaler techniques.
At certain times you may experience a flare-up of your asthma. In this Instance, contact your GP who will review your management plan. Your GP will prescribe asthma treatment aligned to your symptoms.
For more information on asthma management plans for adults, please contact us or make an
appointment to see our doctors.

Children

Our doctors work with patients and their families to develop long term treatment plans after
diagnosis.
In short, management plans are designed to ensure the child can maintain a normal quality of life, depending on the severity and pattern of asthma.
In addition, for children already taking regular preventative treatment, adjustment to the treatment regimen may be necessary. Adjustments are based on finding the lowest dose of medicines that will maintain good control of symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
Your GP is always on hand to provide guidance and clinical care for any asthma management concerns.
