The #AskAboutAsthma campaign returns this September for its seventh year, led by the NHS England – London babies, children and young people’s transformation team.
#AskAboutAsthma encourages children and young people, their families, and those involved in their care, to ensure four simple and effective measures to help them control their asthma:
1. Get an asthma action plan in place
2. Understand how to use inhalers correctly
3. Schedule an asthma review – every year and after every attack,
4. Consider air pollution and its impact on lung health
The 2023 campaign week takes place from September 11-17 and this year’s theme is “Widening our view”: shining a light on the wider factors of children and young people’s asthma care including issues such as housing, mould and vaping. By widening our view, we can help to raise the profile of asthma by reaching out to everyone who has asthma, their friends, families and the whole system that cares for them.
We hope you can support this year’s campaign and have prepared a communications toolkit to help your organisation get involved.
