Asthma and COPD

 

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

 

The nursing team at Westbury-On-Trym Primary Care Centre are able to help you manage your asthma or COPD.

You will be routinely invited for an annual check-up during your birthday month with reviews being done more frequently if you are having difficulty controlling your symptoms. The nurses will review and change treatment as required in consultation with your doctor. They also provide experienced advice on inhaler technique and self-management. If you still smoke, we can refer you to the smoking cessation service which offers appointments within the surgery. We are also able to refer you to the pulmonary rehabilitation service who provide excellent advice on appropriate exercise, diet and living well with your condition.
