Asthma Awareness

Overview

Asthma is the most common chronic respiratory condition affecting both children and adults. It causes breathing difficulties, wheezing, and can be life-threatening if unmanaged.

This course raises awareness of asthma symptoms, triggers, and treatment strategies, helping individuals and carers better support those living with the condition.

With early diagnosis, personalised care, and ongoing medical management, asthma can be controlled — reducing the risk of severe attacks and improving quality of life.
