6/5/26 - World Asthma Day

Today we’re raising awareness about asthma and the importance of good respiratory health.

In the UK, around 5.4 million people are currently receiving treatment for asthma – that’s 1 in 11 children and 1 in 12 adults. Despite this being a common condition, asthma can still be serious, with around 3 people sadly losing their lives to it every day.

Regular reviews are key to staying well. If you have asthma, please remember to book your annual review with Lydia, our respiratory nurse, who can help ensure your treatment is working effectively and answer any questions you may have.

If you’ve noticed any changes in your symptoms, are using your inhaler more often, or have any concerns at all, don’t wait—get in touch with us.

Let’s work together to keep your asthma well controlled.
