This guideline covers diagnosing, monitoring and managing asthma in adults, young people and children. It aims to improve the accuracy of diagnosis, help people to control their asthma and reduce the risk of asthma attacks. It does not cover managing severe asthma or acute asthma attacks.
In March 2021, we highlighted the importance of including advice in the personalised action plan on minimising indoor air pollution and reducing exposure to outdoor air pollution.
Who is it for?:
GPs and practice nurses
Healthcare professionals in secondary care and tertiary asthma services
Commissioners and providers
People with suspected or diagnosed asthma, their families and carers
