How specialist asthma nurses can support the 3 asks and improve asthma care

Join Chair Tori Hadaway, CNS from Barts Health, to learn about the innovations made by nursing teams from across London that have improved services and outcomes for children and young people with asthma. We will hear from:

- Alison Summerfield and Anika Kanga on Role-modelling clinics in NWL

- Whittington team on Different ways of working with CYP asthma during Covid

#AskAboutAsthma is run by Healthy London Partnership and the NHS in London and supported by the Mayor of London.

The #AAA campaign is timed to coincide with the return to school – when hospital admission rates for asthma are usually at their highest (week 38). It encourages health professionals, children and young people and their families to take three simple effective measures to help them control their asthma, namely:

• To have an asthma management plan.

• Be able to use their inhaler effectively

• Have an annual asthma review (as a minimum)

It also looks at the impact of air quality.

In addition to the online conference, this year's #AskAboutAsthma campaign will include a week long schedule of webinars, podcasts, blogs and social media activity.
