Health information

Asthma UK's team of health experts and editors produces a wide range of information materials about asthma, aimed at people with asthma, parents of children with asthma, and health and education professionals.
  • All the health information on this website has been developed by in-house editors working with asthma nurse specialists and our health promotion team, and is checked by independent medical advisers.
  • All health information should indicate when it was last updated. This date can be found in the footer of each page on this website.
  • A set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about asthma is available in more than 20 languages as well as English, in PDF format for download. The FAQs are also available in braille, on tape and CD and as MP3 downloads.
For further information about these resources please contact our Supporter & Information Team on 08456 03 81 43 or email info@asthma.org.uk.

To order Asthma UK publications

If you have asthma or are affected by asthma you can order free copies of our publications by using the form on this website, or by contacting our Supporter & Information Team. Call 08456 03 81 43 or email info@asthma.org.uk .

If you are a health professional and would like to order bulk copies of Asthma UK materials, please use the form in the health professionals area of this site.

Outside the UK

Unfortunately we are unable to send large orders overseas, although many of our resources are easily downloadable as PDFs from this website.

We can under some circumstances send out a sample pack of our materials. However it might be useful to remember that Asthma UK's advice and materials have been developed for a UK audience accessing the UK health system and therefore may not always contain relevant information for people with asthma in other countries.

Using Asthma UK information

If you would like to use Asthma UK's materials or information as a resource or as a guide when developing your own materials, you will need to seek explicit agreement from Asthma UK to do this. There is usually no problem for us to give this approval.

We do ask that any material you use is credited to Asthma UK, and that any materials adapted from Asthma UK be credited appropriately to us for the original idea.

Copying sections of text from our website for inclusion in your leaflets is fine too as long as Asthma UK is credited appropriately for the information.
