Brampton Medical Practice

If you have asthma we would like to see you at least once a year (or every 6 months if you are under 16 years) for a review of your asthma symptoms and current inhaler medication.

If your asthma is kept well controlled you should be able to undertake your normal daily activities, sleep and exercise without any or very little asthma symptoms, and have little need for your blue reliever inhaler.

At an asthma review the nurse will:

• Ask about your asthma symptoms during the day, night and during any activity/exercise
• Check your peak flow rate
• Check your inhaler technique and discuss any alternative devices if you are experiencing any problems

 A personal asthma management plan and annual flu vaccination may also be given at this time.

To book an appointment for an asthma review, contact the surgery and ask for a 20 minute appointment with either Jane Hall or Lorna Weir our asthma nurses, and bring along your current inhalers, spacer and peak flow meter when you attend.
