Asthma

Dr Robin Carr on behalf of Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group has developed an asthma action plan in partnership with Asthma UK.  These leaflets are not for general distribution they are only for asthma patients.  The GP, Practice Nurse or other healthcare professional conducting the asthma check can go through the plan with the patient.

The asthma action plan has been translated into 10 different languages to help patients from ethnic minority communities to manage their asthma more effectively.  The link to all translated resources is on Asthma UK's website.  This will support healthcare professionals to provide high quality asthma care and management tools to all patients, including those whose first language isn't English.

The action plan is available in the following languages: English, Arabic, Bengali, Cantonese, Kurdish, Farsi, Portuguese, Polish, Mandarin, Urdu and Welsh.

Translated leaflets can be found on the Asthma UK website with the English version on the OCCG website.
