Asthma UK Adviceline

The Asthma UK Adviceline team of asthma nurse specialists provides independent, confidential advice and support to people living with asthma, their families, friends and carers and also to health professionals.

All the advice we give is based on the British Guideline on the Management of Asthma published by The British Thoracic Society and the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network. 

Why get in touch?

You can contact the Adviceline with any concerns you may have about asthma. We receive queries about what asthma is and what causes it, triggers, symptoms, treatments and inhaler devices. We’re also often asked about allergies, exercise, diet, housing location and many other concerns that people have about asthma.

We provide a friendly service, and can give you as much time as you need to listen to your concerns, answer your queries and offer a sympathetic ear.
