Clinical Care

The majority of children and young people with asthma are cared for within the community by their GP and the practice nurse. Some patients require more support within a hospital or tertiary care setting. This section provides tools to support doctors and healthcare professionals in primary, community and secondary care to develop high quality asthma services. It outlines examples of best practice in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment and ongoing management of children and young people with asthma in a clinical setting.
