It is important that all patients with asthma have annual check-ups so that their condition can be monitored and their treatment adjusted where necessary. We will send you out a questionnaire each year to assess your asthma. Depending on your responses, you may be asked to come in for an appointment or one of our team may contact you over the phone to discuss.

If you are having trouble with your asthma but do not think you need an appointment at the practice, we can often give you advice over the phone. You can either book a telephone consultation with one of our doctors, or speak to one of our nurses in the clinic.
