Asthma Awareness & Management
Asthma awareness and management training helps staff recognise asthma symptoms early and respond safely to an asthma attack. It gives learners the confidence to act quickly and reduce the risk of serious harm.
Asthma is one of the most common long-term lung conditions in both children and adults. It can cause breathing difficulties, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Without the right support, asthma can affect daily life and increase the risk of emergency situations. However, early intervention and effective asthma management can help people control their symptoms and stay well.
This asthma awareness training course covers common asthma triggers, early warning signs, and practical prevention strategies. In addition, learners gain an understanding of asthma action plans, the importance of early diagnosis, and how to provide person-centred care that supports individual needs and safety.
