Resources and materials

For healthcare professionals and patients

You can find a range of resources that may be of use to healthcare professionals to improve asthma care for children and young people, and to support patients in managing their asthma.

Ask About Asthma campaign

For 2025, #AskAboutAsthma will run from 8 – 12 September. This year’s theme is: One year on from the National Child Mortality Database (NCMD) report – How can we prevent asthma deaths?  

The #AskAboutAsthma campaign was established to encourage 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.

You can download these campaign materials to help spread awareness around childhood asthma and how to manage it, supporting children and young people with asthma to live their best lives.
