Asthma Action Plan

Everyone with asthma can benefit from using an asthma action plan.

It tells you, and anyone with you:

  • which medicines are taken every day to prevent symptoms and cut the risk of an asthma attack
  • what to do if asthma symptoms are getting worse  
  • the emergency action to take if having an asthma attack and when to call 999.

Fill it in with a GP or asthma nurse, so it’s personalised.

Then take it along to all asthma appointments, including any out of hours appointments or A&E, so doctors or asthma nurses can help keep it up to date.
