Self-management plans

The Personal Asthma Action Plan, developed by Asthma UK, is intended for use by people with asthma aged 12 and over.

You should fill this in with the patient so that they have written information about what actions to take when their symptoms get better or worse. It also includes information about what to do during an asthma attack.

This should be given to most people with regular symptoms or who are at risk of attacks.
