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.
