We hold a free online meeting over Zoom every month for parents and carers of children with asthma. Each meeting has a different topic and is organised by our kind and knowledgeable healthcare professionals.
Every meeting is opened by a parent or carer of a child with asthma, who understands what you are going through. You can turn your camera on and talk to others, or leave your camera off and just listen.
Our next meeting is on Wednesday 24th April 2024 at 7pm
Managing your Child’s Medication
Medications can be so confusing! It can be hard to keep track of new inhalers and different treatments. Join us to learn about the different types of inhalers and medication available for your child. Learn about the Asthma Action Plan, and why your child should have one.
You are welcome to attend as many meetings as you like. Take a look at our calendar below and sign up to our mailing list for more information and to be notified when registration opens.
