#AskAboutAsthma campaign launches next week

The NHS #AskAboutAsthma campaign will raise awareness about children and young people’s asthma, running from Monday 11 to Sunday 17 September 2023. 

The campaign will share how to prepare for and respond to asthma attacks and air pollution triggering asthma attacks. 

This year’s campaign theme, 'Widening our view', aims to shine a light on the wider factors of children and young people’s asthma care including housing, mould, and vaping.

You can read more about damp, mould and condensation in private housing. 

There are also short videos about asthma care to watch and free toolkits for schools and youth groups to download.

Each day there are new webinars, podcasts, videos and blogs about different topics. You can check the online schedule for more details. 

On Thursday 14 September, a free online conference will be held to discuss inequalities in asthma care and more. Find out more information about the conference and how to register online.
