Information on Common Health Conditions

Asthma

 

Asthma is a common long-term condition that can cause coughing, wheezing, chest tightness and breathlessness. 

 

The severity of these symptoms varies from person to person. Asthma can be controlled well in most people most of the time, although some people may have more persistent problems.

 

Speak to your GP if you think you or your child may have asthma. You should also talk to your doctor or asthma nurse if you have been diagnosed with asthma and you are finding it difficult to control your symptoms.

If your child is diagnosed with asthma, and require an inhaler, please inform the school office and complete a Medication Permission Form (can be downloaded below).
