These clinics are run by Tim Farmer
We should be reviewing all our patients with asthma each year (this can now be a phone or video call), however we are happy to review patients more frequently and if they are having a problems.
We should be speaking to you if you are needing your reliever inhaler more the 3 times a week most weeks or if your asthma control is deteriorating.
You can check your own asthma control through Asthma UK at
We are trying to ensure that all our patients who would like one have access to an Asthma Action Plan that contains information and advice on how to manage your asthma, you will be offered one of these at your asthma review.
One of the most important aspects of asthma care is ensuring that your inhaler technique is optimum. If your technique is not right then the medication will not get deposited in the correct area of the lungs, normally we would check your inhaler technique when we review you in surgery however you can check your own technique by reviewing the videos available on the Asthma UK website.
