Asthma is a common lung condition that causes occasional breathing difficulties.
It affects people of all ages and often starts in childhood, although it can also develop for the first time in adults.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the name for a group of lung conditions that cause breathing difficulties. It includes:
Emphysema – damage to the air sacs in the lungs
Chronic Bronchitis – long-term inflammation of the airways
At your annual review we will check your inhaler usage and technique to ensure your treatment is optimised to keep your respiratory illness under control.
As part of the review we have developed a questionnaire.
